CON颅CUS颅SION: An inury to the brain that results in tem颅po颅rary loss of nor颅mal brain func颅tion. It is usu颅ally caused by a blow to the head. Cuts or bruises may be present on the head or face, but in many cases there are no signs of trauma. Many peo颅ple assume that con颅cus颅sions involve a loss of con颅scious颅ness, but that is not true. In most cases, a per颅son with a con颅cus颅sion never losses consciousness.
