Concussion Progress in Neurological Surgery Series, Vol. 28
Langue : Anglais
The increasing recognition of concussion and its associated consequences
has focused international attention on mild traumatic brain injury. The
need for early diagnosis, evaluation, and management has expanded
dramatically. This volume includes the experience of leading experts who
describe the recent advances in the pathophysiology, biomechanics, imaging
definition, and management of concussion. Advanced imaging and
electrophysiological techniques are being used to help delineate the
underlying metabolic and ultrastructural effects of concussive injuries.
Papers in this volume review the role of emerging techniques including
fMRI, SPECT, PET, DTI, MRS, and MEG, as well as report on multimodality
concussion management programs which offer guidelines for selecting
relevant team members, assessing community needs, and implementing
management strategies that align with current practice standards. This
publication provides neurosurgeons, neurologists, trauma and sports
medicine specialists, physiatrists, neuropsychologists, and
neuroscientists with a comprehensive overview of the current understanding
of the causes of mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, newer methods
to evaluate it, and current and evolving multimodality management
strategies.
