‘I Got My Bell Rung!’

I’ve seen a lot of patients this year with concussions. Usually, this is an athletic injury, but it is frequently seen in others as well. Concussions have always been a part of sports, especially those involving high-energy collisions, most notably football, soccer, hockey, and basketball. Intensive research, along with lawsuits like the NFL Players Association vs. the NFL is causing research to move rapidly to help us get a firmer grasp on how to prevent and manage concussions.
A concussion is a trauma-induced alteration in mental status that usually does not involve a loss of consciousness and does not have to be a result of a blow to the head. In fact, only ten percent of concussions are associated with a loss of consciousness. 

A concussion is a result of soft brain tissue moving violently inside the bony skull. It is important to realize that this movement can result in varying degrees of microscopic injury to the brain, the majority of which do not show up on radiology imaging studies like CT or MRI scans.
