Concussion

A concussion is a disturbance of brain function following a blow to the head or a forceful movement of the body. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, sensory sensitivity and difficulty concentrating. Most people improve gradually, but assessment is important when warning signs or persistent symptoms occur.

Description of the condition

What is a concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow, collision or rapid acceleration and deceleration. Loss of consciousness is not required. Symptoms can involve headache, dizziness, nausea, balance, vision, sleep, mood, energy and cognition.

Early assessment

Diagnosis is clinical. Scans are used when there is concern about bleeding, fracture or another structural injury, but a normal scan does not rule out concussion. The first priority is to recognise warning signs that require urgent medical attention.

Recovery

Brief relative rest may be helpful initially, followed by a gradual return to everyday, cognitive and physical activity below the level that causes marked or prolonged worsening. Advice should be adapted for work, education, sport and driving. Persistent symptoms deserve reassessment and targeted rehabilitation.
