There is a risk of permanent brain injury whether the disorder is treated or untreated. Symptoms such as seizures may persist for several months, even after treatment, but in time they usually reduce or disappear. Seizures may begin as much as 2 years after the injury. In adults, most recovery occurs in the first 6 months, with some improvement over approximately 2 years. Children usually recover more quickly and completely than adults.
Incomplete recovery is the result of brain damage.
