Concussion is a type of conscious traumatic brain injury, characterized by transient cerebral dysfunction following head trauma. Its main features include brief loss of consciousness lasting several seconds to minutes, usually not exceeding half an hour, or the absence of symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Neurological examination often reveals no positive signs, which classifies it as a conscious traumatic brain injury.
