Bruises (contusions)

Alcohol in and by itself cant. However check out some secondary causes of alcohol abuse, IF you are a persistent heavy drinker(binge drinking especially), you are at risk of developing calicifications in your pancreas. This reduces the proper function of your pancreas over time and can produces what are called pseudocysts. This can be the culprit that will cause you to possibly bleed to death because depending on where the pseudocyst is, it can burst your spleen. I say this because it is exactly what happened to me. I was lucky I was sober at the time it burst at 1:30 in the morning

How do you tell if a bruise is a hicky?

  • Generally a hicky is on the side of the neck and it is causing by the other person vigorously sucking on that section of the neck causing the blood to surface under the skin and is blue/red (mostly red in color.)

Can a cerebral contusion of frontal lobe occur without fracture skull or laceration of scalp by direct blow?

Yes, in fact it is quite common, especially in car accidents or falls. The brain has some ability to move within the skull, and if the head is hit from behind and the brain then hits the front of the skull, this is called a "contracoup" injury. So there may be a laceration or skull fracture in the back and a frontal lobe contusion, or there may be no noticeable damage on the head. CT and MRI may also be normal, by the way. We generally call the symptoms that ensue from this type of injury concussion and then post-concussive syndrome. It may include headaches, memory problems, dizziness, etc.
