Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction01:28

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

2
DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology.

Muscles that Move the Head

7.5K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction01:14

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

12
Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Sports concussion headache (SCH) is a frequent yet under-researched condition in athletes.
  • Existing literature lacks comprehensive evidence on SCH risk factors, epidemiology, and prognosis.
  • Somatic complaints, particularly headache, are common after sports-related concussive injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of sports concussion headache (SCH) based on current literature.
  • To supplement limited SCH data with information from post-traumatic headache (PTHA) literature and clinical experience.
  • To review incidence, pathoanatomy, neurobiology, classification, natural history, prognosis, and treatment of SCH.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of sports concussion headache.
  • Inclusion of data from general post-traumatic headache literature.
  • Incorporation of author's clinical experience and parallel primary headache disorder research.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes limited available evidence on SCH.
  • Information on PTHA and primary headache disorders is used to inform understanding of SCH.
  • Common and less common SCH subtypes are discussed, alongside evaluation and treatment approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for SCH.
  • A comprehensive understanding of SCH requires integrating diverse data sources.
  • Effective management of SCH may benefit from approaches used for PTHA and primary headaches.
