Part of the What Do I Do Now? series, Concussion uses a case-based approach to cover common and important topics in the examination, investigation, and management of acute and subacute concussion. Each chapter provides a discussion of the diagnosis, key points to remember, and selected references for further reading. The book addresses a wide range of topics that run the spectrum from acute concussion to the possibility of long-term sequelae of concussion, and is suitedfor physicians and sports medicine clinicians. Concussion is an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter difficult patients.
