What Is a Concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injuryâor TBIâcaused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.
However, if there is sufficient force to cause the brain to bounce against the rigid bones of the skull, then there is potential for injury. It is the acceleration and deceleration of the brain against the inside of the skull that can cause the brain to be irritated and interrupt its function. The acceleration can come from a direct blow to the head or face, or from other body trauma that causes the head to shake. While temporary loss of consciousness due to injury means that a concussion has taken place, most concussions occur without the patient being knocked out.
