Symptoms
A mild concussion is a mild form of TBI , which, unlike a concussion, is accompanied by minimal structural changes in brain tissue.
Mild concussion is in many ways similar to the clinical presentation of concussion, but these manifestations are usually more pronounced.
- Loss of consciousness lasting from minutes to 1 hour;
- Memory impairment;
- The period of inhibition and drowsiness after regaining consciousness is longer.
Vegetative symptoms of stroke
- nausea,
- vomit,
- sleep disorders,
- sweating,
- temperature instability,
- Pulse and blood pressure fluctuations are more pronounced and prolonged.
With adequate treatment, all these symptoms usually completely disappear within the first day after the injury. In mild contusions, there is a morphological substrate of brain tissue damage in the form of small-point hemorrhages and cerebral edema.
CNS damage
This may be accompanied by focal symptoms of central nervous system damage:
- mild muscle paresis
- slight anisoreflection
- sensitivity disorders
- mild speech disorders when the dominant hemisphere is affected,
- convulsive attacks
Diagnostics
- When performing a lumbar puncture, signs of subarachnoid hemorrhage (blood impurities in the cerebrospinal fluid) are often observed.
- X-rays of the skull often show signs of a fracture of the skull vault and base.
- When performing MSCT of the brain , in addition to skull fractures, foci of brain contusions are detected.
Treatment
Inpatient treatment is longer than for concussion . Usually the course of treatment is 8-14 days. The patient is monitored 24 hours a day with determination of saturation and blood pressure.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
