Concussion in Head Trauma - 20/11/21
Résumé |
Concussion in the setting of facial trauma is an entity that can be overlooked. Having a high index of suspicion is critical in initial management and prompt treatment. Clinical signs can be common manifestations of a concussion. Serial examinations are important as these clinical manifestations can occur later in the hospitalization.

Assessment of the vestibular and oculomotor system can play a critical role in treatment. Prompt recognition and immediate treatment can help shorten the symptomatology and course of treatment.
