Introduction
Minor head injury resulting in an immediate & transient impairment of neural function.
Classification
Concussion grading system (Colorado, 1991):
- Grade 1:
- Grade 2:
- no loss of consciousness
- dazed; confusion with amnesia
- Grade 3: any loss of consciousness
Etiology
- motor vehicle accidents (MVA) 45%
- falls 35%
- occupational accidents 10%
- recreational accidents 10%
- assaults 5%
- contact sports
Epidemiology
- concussion risk for females is higher than males participating in the same sport[9]
- adolescent girls take longer than boys to recover from their first sports-related concussion[41]
- college football players with highest rate of concussion, 3.52 per 1000 games[30] (excluding professional football)
- most children with concussion present to primary care rather than emergency department[31]
- annual rate of soccer-related concussion or other closed head injuries among children in U.S. increased from 0.02% to 0.35% from 1990-2014[34]
- 20% of adolescents report a history of concussion[40]
- 15% of U.S. high school students report having had at least one sports-related concussion in the past year[44]
Clinical manifestations
- early manifestations
- a quick head shake after a hard collison may signal concussion[52]
- alteration in consciousness
- lack of awareness of surroundings
- disturbance of vision
- loss of equilibrium, dizziness, vertigo
- headache, fatigue, dizziness[17]
- nausea, vomiting
- cognitive symptoms[17]
- taking longer to think (58%)
- poor concentration (52%)
- forgetfulness (42%)
- emotional symptoms[17]
- frustration (28%)
- irritability (26%)
- restlessness (25%)
- depression (23%)
- cognitive & emotional symptoms increase until 7 & subsequently decline
- late manifestations: see post-concussion syndrome
Laboratory
- microtubule-associated protein tau in serum/plasma
- one hour post head injury plasma levels predict time to symptom resolution[16]
- 5 specific microRNAs in saliva identify prolonged concussion symptoms in children & adolescents with > 85% accuracy[42]
- specific microRNAs in saliva identify concussion symptoms in professional rugby players[48]
- ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase in blood & GFAP in blood FDA- approved to evaluate need for CT of brain in adults[43]
Diagnostic procedures
- neuropsychologic testing for persistent symptoms[4]
Radiology
- computed tomography is imaging modality of choice in an acute setting
- indications
- post-traumatic seizure
- post-traumatic amnesia (retrograde amnesia for events > 30 minutes before impact)
- post-traumatic gait disorder
- progressive headache
- recurrent vomiting
- suspected skull fracture, basilar skull fracture
- presence of coagulopathy (taking anticoagulant or anti-platelet agent)
- age > 60 years
- drug toxicity or alcohol intoxication
- dangerous mechanism of injury[4]
- pedestrian struck by motor vehicle, ejection from motor vehicle, fall from >= 3 feet or >= 5 stairs
- indications
- MRI neuroimaging
- indications:
- severe trauma
- clinical deterioration
- loss of consciousness
- post-traumatic amnesia (retrograde amnesia for events > 30 minutes before impact)
- focal neurologic defects
- symptoms or abnormal neurologic exam persisting > 1 week
- smaller right hippocampal volumes in retired NFL players with history of grade 3 cerebral concussion[26]
- indications:
Complications
- even grade 1 concussion is associated with decline in memory after 36 hours[3]
- persistent postconcussion symptoms
- 30% of children at 4 weeks
- associated with diminished quality of life at 12 weeks
- 30% of children at 4 weeks
- reduced cerebral blood flow associated with persistence of neuropsychiatric symptoms 1 month after injury[22]
- symptomatic children suffer academic difficulties[24]
- mild cognitive impairment associatied with history of grade 3 cerebral concussion in retired NFL players[26]
- 13% of persons with concussion have poor cognitive outcome at 1 year[49]
- increased risk for suicide ~3 fold[29]
- abnormal menses in adolescent & young women[38]
Management
- athletes with suspected concussion should be removed from play immediately & not allowed to return until
- evaluated by a licensed healthcare professional[9][25]
- at least the remainder of the day[50]
- removal from play reduces recovery time[33]
- repeated cognitive & neurologic assessment may be more important than grading[2]
- outpatient followup computerized neurocognitive testing may identify persistent symptoms not detected by other clinical assessment
- persistent symptoms lasting > 1 hour warrant medical observation[4]
- grade 1 concussion allows a player to return to play in the same game[3][8]
- symptoms & mental status must return to normal within 15 minutes at rest & with exercise[8]
- grade 2 concussion prohibits player from returning to game
- grade 3 concussion
- remove from competition
- if symptoms brief & examination findings normalize, may return home with family with observation
- if prolonged symptoms. persistent abnormal examination, or prior concussion, emergency department evaluation with neuroimaging
- player with brief symptoms should be asymptomatic for 1 week before returning to competition
- player with prolonged symptoms should be asymptomatic for 2 weeks before returning to competition
- player with second occurrence should be asymptomatic for 4 weeks before returning to competition[5][8]
- return to work as per recommendations for return to play
- no treatment expedites recovery or prevents long-term cognitive impairment[9]
- post-concussion cognitive rest
- limit activities requiring concentration[20]
- reading, texting, playing video games, schoolwork
- adjust academic workload[12]
- strict rest following concussion not helpful for children & adolescents[21]
- most concussion symptoms improve within 3 weeks
- persistence of symptoms longer than 3 weeks should prompt further investigation
- students should return to baseline academic performance before returning to extracurricular activities, including sports[12]
- limit activities requiring concentration[20]
- physical activity at any level (light, aerobic, full) within 7 days after concussion is associated with lower rate of persistent symptoms in children (29% vs 40%)[36]
- moderate aerobic activity after sports-related concussion reduces time to recovery[47]
- moderate-to-vigorous physical activity within 1 week is associated with lower postconcussion symptom burden[51]
- patient education
- telling patients that symptoms are common after concussion significantly changes their responses[28]
Notes
- American Academy of Neurology concludes physicians have an ethical responsibility to protect patients from concussion
- physicians should provide information about
- concussion risk factors, symptoms, & risk for post-concussion syndrome
- shared decision making regarding concussion management & return to play[19]
- physicians should provide information about
- almost 2/3 of players at the 2014 FIFA World Cup with >= 2 signs of concussion were not assessed by sideline healthcare professionals[39]
