“As for the subdural hematoma, to tell you the truth, I am not convinced by falling from a height, especially in the context of a fainting (episode). We have to look a little at the circumstances of the fall, the height from which it fell, if it hit, how it hit, because usually in fainting episodes you know that it is preceded by dizziness, a symptom that warns the patient that he will faint. Therefore, these falls are not as severe as with a syncope episode in which the patient instantly loses consciousness. Therefore, such an injury should, I think, be searched more deeply for how it was caused.
We must also look at soft tissue injuries because such an injury cannot appear autonomously without accompanying damage to the skull. All of this will be examined and a conclusion will be drawn as to how this bleeding was ultimately caused,” he told ERT and the show “Connections”.
As for whether there is a possibility that the athlete already had something, aggravated by a blow, he answered: “As far as I know, we are talking about an acute hematoma. So we cannot go very far back in time to find the moment of challenge»
