Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:35:39 GMT

(CNN) — Médicos, investigadores y expertos han recorrido un largo camino en la comprensión de las conmociones o contusiones cerebrales. La afección, que alguna vez fue representada con personajes de dibujos animados viendo estrellas, finalmente está recibiendo la atención que merece, con estrictos protocolos de conmoción cerebral establecidos para los deportes amateur y profesionales.Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de EE.UU. (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés), una conmoción cerebral ocurre después de un “golpe o sacudida en la cabeza” o “un golpe en el cuerpo que hace que la cabeza y el cerebro se muevan rápidamente hacia adelante y hacia atrás”. Cualquiera de estos movimientos repentinos puede causar que “el cerebro rebote o se tuerza en el cráneo”, “cambios químicos en el cerebro” y/o el “estiramiento y daño” de las células cerebrales, dicen los CDC.Esos cambios pueden provocar síntomas como sentirse mareado o desorientado en el momento, o prob...
