La conmoción cerebral o concusión es el tipo de traumatismo cerebral más común y de menor gravedad. Técnicamente, una concusión es una pérdida de conocimiento por un corto período de tiempo como resultado de una lesión en la cabeza provocada por un traumatismo que interrumpe la función normal del cerebro. En el lenguaje corriente, el término ha pasado a significar cualquier lesión de menor gravedad de la cabeza o del cerebro. Puede implicar desajustes en las neuronas sin que exista daño estructural obvio. Tras una conmoción cerebral, este órgano queda momentáneamente bloqueado. Puede haber o no pérdida de consciencia, pero generalmente se observa confusión o problemas de memoria. El riesgo de muerte es prácticamente nulo. Los síntomas se suelen resolver en unas semanas, pero pueden persistir algunos problemas, que rara vez son permanentes. Cerca del 75 % de los niños se recuperan antes de 3 meses.
