He has hemorrhagic contusions. He needs to be on observation for any worsening of symptoms. Will need repeat CT scans according to the clinical symptoms. If there is any worsening of the hemorrhage causing compression of the ventricles, then may require surgical intervention. Otherwise the management is conservative with medications. if he s on any antiplatelet, it needs to be withheld for some days .
