AB The  purpose  of  this  chapter  is  to  outline  aspects  of  sport-related  concussions  most  relevant  in  the  management  of  young  athletes  seen  in  practice.  At  the  outset,  it  is  recognized  that  research-based  data  for  the  evaluation  and  management  of  sport-related  concussions  in  children  and  adolescents  are  limited.  Because  no  guideline  or  protocol  has  been  specifically  studied  for  its  applicability  in  children  and  adolescents,  a  more  cautious  approach  to  management  of  concussions  is  recommended  in  this  age  group.
