| Popis: | This review seeks to describe the clinical manifestations of and management approach to post-concussion syndrome and other neurologic sequelae of concussion including post-traumatic headache, concussive convulsions, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Most children with concussion recover within 1 month but symptoms persist beyond that in patients with post-concussion syndrome. After a limited period of cognitive and physical rest, gradual reintroduction of activities, including aerobic exercise, helps to relieve concussive and post-concussive symptoms. A variety of treatment approaches are utilized to reduce specific symptoms of post-concussion syndrome. Clinicians should screen for post-concussive symptoms so that appropriate therapies, medications, and referrals can be offered. With time and targeted interventions, improvement can be expected for patients with post-concussion syndrome. |
