I don't remember this episode. Assuming her cranium was intact and there would be no increased ICP that would force a cerebral herniation outside the confines of the skull the only nasty bloody throbbing anywhere near the top of head are either inflamed blood vessel more commonly a vasculitis (probably giant cell arteritis) or even a tumor (most likely a carcinoma or a melanoma), however these diseases don't really "pop" unless you're really really sick.
