Comprehensive Multimodal Diagnostics and Rehabilitation in Persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome Following Motor Vehicle Collision

Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are among the most common mechanisms of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and a meaningful proportion of affected individuals develop persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS) characterized by prolonged multidomain dysfunction. Conventional neuroimaging frequently fails to capture the underlying pathophysiology, leaving clinicians without objective diagnostic evidence....

Multimodal vestibular assessment should be considered as part of the post-concussion workup in patients with persistent symptoms following trauma; this single case does not provide evidence to change existing clinical pathways.

Persistent post-concussion syndrome with vestibular involvement is a significant real-world burden, and detailed case documentation can inform interdisciplinary rehabilitation protocols even in the absence of controlled trial data.

1. 01Patient presented with persistent post-concussion syndrome following a motor vehicle collision.
2. 02Comprehensive multimodal diagnostics included vestibular testing alongside cognitive and neurological assessments.
3. 03Rehabilitation was tailored to vestibular and neurological sequelae (after-effects) identified during workup.
4. 04Case highlights the complexity of managing multiple overlapping symptoms after head injury.
5. 05Single-case design limits generalizability of findings.
