A cleft is a fissure or opening—a gap. It is the non-fusion of the body's natural structures that form before birth. A cleft lip or palate can be successfully treated with surgery, especially if conducted soon after birth or in early childhood. Concussion Care A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are usually temporary, but can include problems with headache, concentration, memory, judgment, balance and coordination. Although concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head, they can also occur when the head and upper body are violently shaken. These injuries can cause a loss of consciousness, but most concussions do not. Because of this, some people have concussions and don't realize it.
