Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), often referred to as a concussion, does not always result in obvious physical injuries. While some individuals may experience visible signs like bruising or swelling, many symptoms are internal and may include headaches, confusion, or cognitive changes that aren't externally visible. Therefore, MTBI can occur without any apparent physical injury, making it crucial to recognize and address symptoms even in the absence of obvious signs.
