Understanding Concussion as a Form of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Concussion is explained as a form of mild traumatic brain injury caused by mechanical forces affecting the brain's function without necessarily showing up on standard imaging tests. Symptoms such as loss of consciousness, dizziness, headache, and fatigue can indicate a concussion, and only about 10% of cases involve loss of consciousness. Objective assessments are crucial in diagnosing concussions, especially considering the potential long-lasting impacts and the need for a nuanced approach to treatment.
