Overview
Concussion may be under-diagnosed. The lack of the highly noticeable signs and symptoms that are frequently present in other forms of head injury could lead clinicians to miss the injury, and athletes may cover up their injuries in order to be allowed to remain in the competition. A retrospective survey in 2005 found that more than 88% of concussions go unrecognized.[1]
