lüll Pediatric sport-related concussion: a review of the clinical management of an oft-neglected population Kirkwood MW; Yeates KO; Wilson PEPediatrics 2006[Apr]; 117 (4): 1359-71Athletic concussion is a growing focus of attention for pediatricians. Although numerous literature reviews and clinical guidelines are now available pertaining to athletic concussion, few have focused on the pediatric athlete in particular. Sport-related concussions occur relatively frequently in children and adolescents, and primary health care providers are often responsible for coordinating clinical management. Here we summarize the scientific literature pertinent to the care of young athletes. We examine how concussion affects younger and older athletes differently at biomechanical, pathophysiological, neurobehavioral, and contextual levels. We also discuss important issues in clinical management, including preparticipation assessment, concussion evaluation and recovery tracking, and when and how to return pediatric athletes to play sports. We also briefly cover non-sport-related interventions (eg, school support). With proper management, most children and adolescents sustaining a sport-related concussion can be expected to recover fully.|*Athletic Injuries/diagnosis/physiopathology/therapy[MESH]|*Brain Concussion/diagnosis/physiopathology/therapy[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neuropsychological Tests[MESH]|Physical Examination[MESH]|Post-Concussion Syndrome/diagnosis/therapy[MESH]|Sports Medicine[MESH] |
