Cerebral Concussion

A cerebral concussion is a temporary injury to the brain caused by a sudden jolt or blow to the head. It disrupts normal brain function, leading to symptoms like confusion, headache, dizziness, nausea, or temporary loss of consciousness. Concussions result from the brain moving rapidly within the skull, causing chemical changes and sometimes stretching or bruising of brain tissue. While usually not life-threatening, they require proper rest and monitoring to ensure full recovery and prevent complications like repeated injuries. If symptoms worsen or persist, medical evaluation is essential.
