Abstract:

A case is discussed of a 16-year-old girl attending a concert who presented at the first-aid station complaining of being unable to keep her head upright. There were no specific therapeutic interventions and recovery from the injury took its natural course. However, she still suffered symptoms 4 years later. Unfortunately, there is no validated diagnosis to explain this combination of symptoms including dysfunctions in cognition (concentration problems), nerve and muscle tissue (tingling and weakness).
