Not everyone who has a concussion ends up with Post Concussion Syndrome.

A concussion is one form of Traumatic Brain Injury.

Sometimes called TBI, sometimes called mTBI and in some places I've come across in Au it's just called a head injury. Like PCS, the symptoms and severity differ greatly.

One does not need to have a penetrating injury to the brain to have TBI.
