Second impact syndrome (SIS) is a widely feared complication of traumatic brain injury. Although postulated to occur after repeated concussion, the evidence for such a premise is nor compelling. This paper reviews the published evidence for and against the existence of this controversial entity. Rather than SIS being a complication nf recurrent concussion it is far more likely that the clinical condition represents diffuse cerebral swelling, a well-recognized complication of traumatic brain injury. This condition is more common in children and adolescents. which reflects the known demographics of so-called second impact syndrome. We propose that clinicians abandon the misleading term second impact syndrome and refer to the syndrome as diffuse cerebral swelling.
