This case report describes a female college basketball player who experienced brief loss of consciousness with hemiparesis after being struck in the jaw during a game. When she returned to play a month later, she sustained a second mild head injury, which resulted in persistent headache, cognitive difficulties, and reversal in hand dominance. She has since recovered fully. This case addresses return-to-play issues for the head-injured athlete, especially the risk of recurrent injury. It also illustrates the utility of neuropsychological testing when standard medical tests fail to detect any abnormalities.
本病例报告描述了一名女子大学篮球运动员，她在比赛中被击中下巴后出现短暂意识丧失和偏瘫。一个月后她重返赛场时，又遭受了第二次轻度头部损伤，导致持续头痛、认知困难和手优势改变。此后她已完全康复。本病例探讨了头部受伤运动员的重返赛场问题，尤其是再次受伤的风险。它还说明了当标准医学检查未能发现任何异常时神经心理学测试的作用。
