Prognosis of Concussion in Children

Alcy R Torres et al. Semin Pediatr Neurol. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

Concussion in children is a common complaint in the emergency room, at the primary care physician's office and at the pediatric neurology clinic. The objective of this paper is to review the literature about prognostic factors that influence recovery from concussion. Also, we provide an overview of the duration of the symptoms, criteria to return to school and sports, and retirement of sports. It is important to remember that the factors provided could be used as a guide, but each case should be individualized and does not replace a detailed history-taking and physical examination.
