What causes complications of a gunshot wound to the head?

Complications of a gunshot wound to the head can arise from various factors, including the extent of brain tissue damage, the path of the bullet, and associated hemorrhaging. The high energy from the bullet can create a shock wave that damages surrounding brain structures, leading to swelling, increased intracranial pressure, and potential infection. Additionally, complications may include neurological deficits, seizures, and cognitive impairments, depending on the areas of the brain affected. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to mitigate these risks and improve outcomes.
