Absolutely, but that all depends on how bad the concussion is, as well as any other secondary conditions caused by the initial trauma. A concussion is essentially a bruise of the brain, caused by a rapid change in velocity of the head. The brain's tissues react negatively to blood - leading to a good amount of swelling, which can cause a great deal of tissue damage. This increase in intracranial pressure can range from insignificant to life threatening. If there is a large amount of pressure buildup, brain damage can be fatal. There can also be subdural and epidural bleeds that are secondary to the initial trauma. These bleeds form by tears in the sac that surrounds the brain. Just as mentioned before, this bleeding causes pressure build up in the head which can be fatal. Doctors will work their hardest to try to manage this pressure buildup through the use of blood pressure medications as well as burr holes in, or even full sections removed from, the patient's skull.
