Concussion

November 23rd 2011 13:50
A concussion is an immediate but reversible traumatic paralysis of the nervous function of the brain. It is usually caused by a blow to the head or by striking the head against a stationary object. In fact, a concussion is one of eight different types of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that most commonly result from falls, motor vehicle accidents, sporting accidents and wrongful firearms discharges. A concussion involves a host of effects (secondary injuries) that emerge several hours or days after the trauma. It is critical for physicians to monitor these secondary tissue damages, as they are frequently the origin of significant long-term effects, including brain damage, cognitive deficits, psychosocial/behavioral/emoti onal changes, bodily damage and biochemical changes at the cellular level.
