Concussion Literature
Second Impact Syndrome
Second impact syndrome, or SIS, happens when the brain swells rapidly shortly after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms from an earlier concussion have subsided. This event is rare, but when it does happen, it is most often fatal. You should always be cleared by a physician who specializes in concussions before returning back to activity.
