Concussions in adolescent athletes. (Instr Course Lect. 2006) "The evaluation of a patient with a concussion should include assessment of the airway, breathing, circulation, level of consciousness, orientation, memory, concentration, and neurologic function. Multiple grading scales and return to play guidelines have been published to assist the clinician in the treatment of patients with concussions. Diagnostic and treatment concerns include spinal cord injury, intracranial pathology, second impact syndrome, and long-term impairment of cognitive function."

Descriptive epidemiology of concussion. (Pediatr Neurol. 2006) "More than 54% of all concussions were sport-related (95% confidence interval: 39%, 67%), occurring at a place for recreation or sport, with sport having a role in >85% of concussions in the 16-34 year-old group."

Neurophysiological Anomalies in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Concussed Athletes. (Neurosurgery 2006) "CONCLUSION: Concussions seem to produce deficits in the early and late stages of auditory information processing, which possibly reflect impaired brain functioning in symptomatic and asymptomatic concussed athletes. The fact that asymptomatic athletes have an electrophysiological profile similar to that of symptomatic athletes challenges the validity of return-to-play guidelines for which the absence of symptoms is a major issue."

Sport-related concussion in the young athlete. (Curr Opin Pediatr. 2006) "SUMMARY: Given the increased vulnerability of the young athlete, current research suggests conservative management of concussion and return-to-play decisions. A decision tree diagram to assist the practitioner in making return-to-play recommendations for the young athlete is included in this review."
