Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Yes, today that's probably what would have been done, depending on what hospital you went to, but, at that time, the CT hadn't even been invented. Re: Re: New Member/Introduction Hi, , An MRI would show if any damage remains. I had my first concussion at age 13 (feel backward on ice while skating). There have been four more since then. My MRI shows "slight" damage to the outer edges of the brain in six locations and the brain stem is "slanted" so that the brain is way off center. Nobody really said anything about the Pituitary gland, but it could been seen in the films. Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
