Both had significant improvement soon after a unique intervention was administered.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Background:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 14-year-old female soccer and softball player sustained 2 concussions in the same week. She had persistent symptoms for a year that affected her grades and precluded athletic participation. A 15-year-old male football player sustained a concussion during an altercation with 2 other male adolescents. He continued to have symptoms 1 year later, with a marked decrease in academic performance and restriction from athletics. Both adolescents reported blurry vision, photophobia, and associated headache as significant components of the postconcussion syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Differential Diagnosis:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Concussion, postconcussion syndrome, skull fracture, subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, second-impact syndrome, and visually sensitive migraine.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Treatment:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Both patients were advised to obtain computer gaming glasses to use throughout the day.
