<human>: Hello, I fell going down wide concrete steps four days ago on the ice, and i hit the back of my head pretty hard.  A knot came up on the left parietal bone just above the occipital bone, about the size of a golf ball.  I didnt get knocked out, but couldnt move for a few seconds.  Afterwards, I only experienced a mild - moderate headache. No other symptoms until day 3, a black eye.  My right eyelid is black and purple with some very slight swelling.   Since I havent had any other symptoms of concussion and feel pretty good, I havent considered getting a CTscan.  But now wonder if this black eye is an indication that something could be wrong.  Could this indicate some damage??
<bot>: Hi, Yes definitely there is an internal fracture. Black eye means an internal bleeding. This needs to be treated immediately. You need a CT to be done. Also visit a neurologist for the proper assessment and treatment till then apply cold and ice packs alternatively to reduce the pressure on eye, also if there is a swelling on the skull you can apply ice pack over that area to reduce the swelling. Hope this helps you and you recover soon. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jenis Bhagavan
