Sports concussions are common among children and adolescents, and recent evidence suggests that concussions are more serious injuries than previously thought. Young athletes appear to recover from concussion more slowly than older athletes. Recovery is prolonged if these athletes return to play or school prematurely, and reinjury increases their risk of more serious sequelae. These newer data on concussions have raised our appreciation of this injury and have informed the development of more conservative treatment guidelines for the child and adolescent athlete. The purpose of this JAMS article is to review the new evidence and the most recent management guidelines regarding sports concussion in the young athlete.
运动性脑震荡在儿童和青少年中很常见，最近的证据表明，脑震荡是比以前认为的更严重的损伤。年轻运动员似乎比年长运动员从脑震荡中恢复得更慢。如果这些运动员过早重返比赛或学校，恢复时间会延长，再次受伤会增加他们出现更严重后遗症的风险。这些关于脑震荡的新数据提高了我们对这种损伤的认识，并为制定针对儿童和青少年运动员的更保守治疗指南提供了依据。这篇发表于《美国医学学会杂志》的文章的目的是回顾关于年轻运动员运动性脑震荡的新证据和最新管理指南。
