Abstract
In brief: The potential for head injury exists in almost all sports. The classification of head injury helps the clinician in evaluation and management, but no system is universally accepted. The authors propose a new system specifically based on sports-related minor head injury and present guidelines for specific management of each grade of minor brain injury.Keywords
