Sports-Related Concussion 
Edited by Julian E. Bailes, M.D., Mark R. Lovell, Ph.D., and Joseph C. Maroon, M.D.
The phenomenon of minor head injury is increasingly being recognized as having both immediate and long-term implications for athletes. Physicians, trainers, and coaches play a vital role in the prevention of injury, on-field diagnosis and management, and treatment of sports related concussion. From early recognition of a concussive event to treatment options and possible long-term side effects, all aspects of the neurologic and neuropsychologic evaluation and management of head injury in the athlete are addressed. The book concludes with a lively and informative round-table discussion amongst professional athletes who have experienced sports related concussion.
