Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is among the most common diagnoses encountered by a neurologist in the clinical practice. Despite several important findings in recent decades, there are still many question marks. The article provides an overview of disease terminology, the principles of diagnosis with a focus on the indication criteria for imaging in adult patients and children and the principles of treatment in the initial post-traumatic period.

Keywords: mild traumatic brain injury, concussion, craniocerebral trauma.
