Abstract
Cerebral concussion, the most common form of brain injury, has been closed up in terms by the development of sports medicine. There are several problems following concussion such as acute subdural hematoma, second impact syndrome, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Concerning these problems, treatment and care for concussed athletes should be emphasized as an important issue. In concussion evaluation, the clinical post-concussive symptoms may be more important than the presence or duration of amnesia and/or loss of consciousness. To this end, several neuro-psychological evaluation tools have been introduced. During the period of recovery in the first few days following the injury, it is important to emphasize to the athlete that physical and cognitive rest is required. The return to play following a concussion should be conducted as a stepwise process.
