Nearly 4 million concussions occur in amateur and professional athletics every year in the U.S. As many as half are not recognized. Children, youth and female athletes are particularly susceptible to concussions. The residual effects of repeated concussions put athletes at risk for long-term neurological consequences and even death. David W. Dodick, M.D. of the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, discusses Mayo's comprehensive sports concussion program and the need for proper evaluations.
