COURSE OF MILD BRAIN INJURY

Abstract

This article describes mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its symptoms.  The clinical classification of TBI and risk factors are presented. Recognizing a concussion is often a difficult task, as it is based primarily on subjective symptoms. In the diagnosis of concussion, it is especially important to assess the circumstances of the injury and the information of witnesses to the incident. Traces of trauma on the head and factors such as alcohol intoxication, psychological state of the victim, etc. can play a twofold role.
