AbstractConcussion falls under mild traumatic brain injury. Discussion of clinical diagnosis, brief mention of pathophysiology, critical appraisal of current science on the topic of concussion is explored and organized into phases throughout the article. Evaluation of patient-based, functional outcomes should help with the conceptual framework to approach patients with a broad constellation of symptoms that can be frustrating and confounding to suffer from, deal with, and ultimately manage. Pitfalls in management across different age groups and current legal precedent are considered, as well as some opening dialogue on pharmacologic options that are commonly used in initial concussion management.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
