Cerebral concussion is a brain injury caused by trauma – either to the skull or the whole body. Most times, strokes not raise special problems and everything is back to normal by itself. However, producing a cerebral concussion becomes suspicion, especially if it is a child he requires professional care because of the risk of complications.
It happens more than once: While playing, the child falls from a height relatively small, or while playing football, collides with a colleague. Immediately after falling, the baby get up, but has a little uncertain walking, sees himself as not really know where he was, talking incoherently, is dizzy. In such situations it is possible that the child has suffered a concussion.
The brain is protected by strong bones of the skull, wrapped within which floats the cerebrospinal fluid. For this reason, the brain is relatively well protected, in case of a head injury, brain parts are moving entirely and no one is crushed. However, if the shot is strong because of deceleration, it can cause a short period the brain is “shorted”. In severe cases, the brain is injured, bleeding may occur with the occurrence of cerebral hematoma and brain function may be affected long term. Strokes can occur not only during contact sports, and falls during the bike (so it is very important wearing crash helmets) and even while your child plays in the park or at home. You must understand why it is important to recognize signs that may
indicate a concussion, for a specialist to evaluate quickly as possible the state of the person concerned; the person is most often a child.
Here are the signs that indicate a concussion:
. Patient is dizzy, disoriented
. He moves erratically, no balance
. He gives late answer questions
. He loses consciousness, if only for a second
. He doesn’t know exactly where he is and what he does
. He hardly remembers what happened immediately before or after stroke
. He behaves in an unusual way, not characteristic for him
