Post-Accident Headaches Are a Red Flag
Headaches are one of the most common symptoms following a car accident or head injury. While many post-accident headaches are benign, persistent headaches can indicate serious underlying conditions including TBI, cervicogenic headache from spinal injury, or intracranial bleeding.
Never dismiss persistent headaches after an accident — get them evaluated promptly.
What MRI Can Reveal
Brain MRI can detect structural changes associated with TBI, brain bleeds, subdural hematomas, and other conditions that cause headaches. Cervical spine MRI can identify disc herniations and nerve compression that cause cervicogenic headaches.
Advanced MRI sequences including diffusion imaging can detect subtle brain changes that standard MRI may miss.
