This chapter considers issues in patients with multiple concussions. These patients must consider when to retire from contact sports. Help the patient, family, and peers think through the decision carefully. Educate them about the risk of serious and currently untreatable long-term problems such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Discuss potential for a future professional sports career versus other career as well as interpersonal and family aspirations. Patients want to know if they have CTE. There is no way to tell for sure while they are alive. High-risk features may include progressive worsening over time, prominent mood and behavioral abnormalities, parkinsonism, and a cavum septum pellucidum on MRI scan. Treatment is entirely based on relieving symptoms and keeping the patient safe.
