A concussion is an injury to the brain. Kids don’t have to be knocked out to have a concussion. A fall, a hit to the head or anything that shakes the brain inside the skull can cause this hidden injury. Concussions can be mild or serious. At Nemours Children's, we have the skill and technology to diagnose different levels of concussion — and our experts know the right way to help your child’s brain heal.
