- Concussion Syndrome (PCS) is a series of symptoms that occur after a brain disorder (mild traumatic brain injury, MTBI), which may last for weeks, months, or sometimes more than a year. The symptoms of concussion syndrome can occur in 38-80% of mild head trauma. In the case of persistent concussion syndrome (PPCS), symptoms can persist for more than 6 months, or more than 3 months according to other criteria.
The status of concussion syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms: physical, such as headache; cognitive, such as difficulty concentrating; and emotional and behavioral, such as irritability. Because many symptoms of concussion syndrome are common in, or exacerbated by, other diseases, there is a possibility of misdiagnosis. Although there is no treatment for PCS itself, its symptoms can be treated; drugs and physical / behavioral therapy are currently available, and patients can know their symptoms and general prognosis.
It is unclear what causes the symptoms of PCS and why it persists, and why some people develop PCS after a mild traumatic brain injury and some do not.
