A concussion is a minor or less severe type of brain injury, which may also be called a traumatic brain injury. A concussion can affect how the brain works for a awhile. It may lead to headaches, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness. A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, or car accidents. A big movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause a person to lose alertness (become unconscious). How long the person stays unconscious may be a sign of how bad the concussion is.
1 Any blow to the head, face or neck, or somewhere else on the body that causes a sudden jarring of the head can cause a concussion. 2  The signs and symptoms of concussion often last for 7 to 10 days. 3  Sometimes they last much longer, even many weeks or months. 4  The most important treatment for a concussion is rest.
