Repeated concussive and subconcussive trauma is associated with the later
development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative
disease associated with clinical symptoms in multiple domains and a unique
pattern of pathologic changes. CTE has been linked to boxing and American
football; CTE has also been identified in soccer, ice hockey, baseball, rugby,
and military service. To date, most large studies of CTE have come from enriched
cohorts associated with brain bank donations for traumatic brain injury, although
several recent studies re-examining neurodegenerative disease brain banks suggest
that CTE is more common than is currently appreciated.
