If a person has mild side affects such as dizzyness but no amnesia after a head injury can significant brain damage still occur? A friend of mine suffered a head injury playing Rugby. He isnt sure if he lost conciousness after the impact but thinks he may of done briefly. He suffered severe dizzyness for 24 hours after the injury but remebers the whole thing. As I have experienced some mild concussions myself he asked me whether I thought he would have any long term problems. What do you think?
