Orthostatic intolerance, a dysautonomia, has been seen to occur in patients after TBI. In this session, we will cover the characteristics of autonomic dysfunction after concussion. We will also discuss diagnostic evaluation and management/treatment approaches for patients who have post-concussive dysautonomia. We will use case-based approach to highlight challenges that we have experienced in our multidisciplinary pediatric dysautonomia clinic.
