The damage involves compression injures in which pressure, twisting or stretching is applied to nervous tissues. In severe cases, compression injuries can affect the brain resulting in hematomas.
Why is there vomiting in subdural hematomas?
Vomiting in subdural hematomas is primarily caused by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and irritation of the brain. As the hematoma expands, it can compress surrounding structures, leading to symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, the brain's vomiting center can be stimulated due to the injury or pressure changes, triggering the vomiting reflex. This symptom is often indicative of more severe underlying brain injury.

What damage might have been done to the function of the brain particularly the functions associated with the frontal lobe if you hit your forehead?
This answer varies on how hard you hit your head. If you hit your head very hard you may have a subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the surface of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), an epidural hematoma (bleeding in between the inside of the skull and the dura, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), a cerebral contusion (a brusing of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death) , a intracranial hemorrhage (intracranial bleeding, causes paralysis, memory loss and/or death), or a concussion (memory loss and/or death). Most cases of subdural hematomas and epidrual hematomas require a craniotomy to stop the bleeding. If you did not hit your head very hard you may not even have a medical condition.
What are some examples of traumatic brain injury?
