    AbstractIn the past a lot of patients suffered from post-concussive symptoms (PCS) after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The present prospective study (n = 73) was intended to help predict the outcome after mTBI with blood asservation for analysis of S100 beta 3 hours after trauma. There was no statistically significant correlation be-tween PCS or even of single symptoms and elevated marker levels. Serum S100 beta appears to be a poor predictor of the outcome following mild TBI. Establishing a diagnosis of "PCS" will still be hard in future, since no objective diagnostic -method exists. The most important facts are a precise examination and a history of the patient with a negative CT scan of the head.
