Quick Summary:

• Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disorder of the brain. It occurs when an individual suffers from repeated concussions and brain trauma
• Athletes who participate in contact sports or those who undergo repeated contact and trauma to the brain are at risk of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Sometimes, military personnel who suffer blast injuries, can also be at risk
• Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy develops over a period of years and decades. However, the exact mechanism that causes CTE is unknown at this time
• Individuals who have Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy develop the signs and symptoms slowly. Over a period of time, the brain tissue loses its mass due to atrophy. As the result of atrophic changes, other parts of the brain may become bigger to compensate for the atrophy that occurred. Due to atrophy, the brain function is affected
• Protecting the brain from repeated trauma by wearing a protective helmet can reduce an individual’s risk of developing Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. However, a medical consensus has not been reached on the magnitude of trauma a brain would have to experience to develop this disorder
• The prognosis of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy depends on the severity of the signs and symptoms and the extent of the brain damage. In a majority of cases, the disorder is progressive, meaning that it continues to deteriorate
