Most concussions are the result of deceleration, the brain hits the skull as a result of a sudden deceleration due to impact. Rotational concussions occur when the skull, and therefore the brain are moving in a turning side movement and due to a sudden stop or side impact, the skull abruptly stops while momentum continues. In my daughter's case, her brain stem struck the base of her skull, bruising it. She had frightening strokelike symptoms. Over time, her recovery was complete.
