Concussion falls under the classification of mild TBI.[1] It is not clear whether concussion is implied in mild brain injury or mild head injury.[2] "MTBI" and "concussion" are often treated as synonyms in medical literature.[3] However, other injuries such as intracranial hemorrhages (e.g. intra-axial hematoma, epidural hematoma, and subdural hematoma) are not necessarily precluded in MTBI[4] or mild head injury,[5][6] but they are in concussion.[7] MTBI associated with abnormal neuroimaging may be considered "complicated MTBI".[8] "Concussion" can be considered to imply a state in which brain function is temporarily impaired and "MTBI" to imply a pathophysiological state, but in practice few researchers and clinicians distinguish between the terms.[4] Descriptions of the condition, including the severity and the area of the brain affected, are now used more often than "concussion" in clinical neurology.[9]
