%X Structural and functional connectivity after sports-related concussion (SRC) may remain altered in adolescent athletes despite symptom resolution. However, little is known about how alterations in structural and functional connectivity co-present in female athletes whose symptom recovery tends to be prolonged. Despite resolution of symptoms, one month following her second SRC, an 18-year-old female athlete had decreased structural connectivity in the corpus callosum and cingulum, with altered FC near those regions, compared to other SRC and orthopedically injured athletes. <br><br>FINDINGS show persistent effects of SRC on advanced brain imaging and the possibility of greater vulnerability of white matter tracts in females.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
