Abstract
Traumatic brain injury is the most common injury, especially in motorcycle riders who do not wear helmets or those who wear unsafe helmets. This injury can be fatal and result in death, but it can also be healed without any sequelae or with varying sequelae. The type of sequelae that commonly occurs after a traumatic brain injury is Post-Concussion Syndrome. Moreover, it has some symptoms such as headaches, impaired concentration, tiredness, anxiousness, dementia, and impaired cognitive function. Based on its onset, Post-Concussion Syndrome is classified into 3: acute (the symptoms appear less than one month after injury), subacute (the symptoms appear from 1 to 12 months), and chronic (the symptoms appear more than a year). The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of symptoms in cases of Post Concussion. Syndrome that occurs after 6 months after moderate head injury.The design of this study used a case report method in order to report cases in detail through interviews and direct observation on respondents. The results of Rivermead, Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Tests conducted 6 months after moderate traumatic brain injury, indicated that respondents experienced Post-Concussion Syndrome and Retrograde Amnesia. The conclusion of Post-Concussion Syndrome experienced by the respondents was subacute with several symptoms such as headache, dementia, impaired concentration, anxiousness, and memory loss of before injury.

This study reports the incidence of Post Concussion Syndrome in patients 6 months after moderate head injury
Respondents experienced Post Traumatic Amnesia with retrograde symptoms marked by the results of the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test which were carried out for 3 consecutive days where the respondent could not answer questions about how he got to the hospital and could he explain the last event he could remember before the accident
Summary
Traffic accidents that often occur in Indonesia seem familiar. The balance between drivers, increasingly advanced vehicle technology and service providers on the road are the three elements that determine transportation mobility. If one of these aspects does not work properly, there will be a gap that will lead to accidents.[1]. A traffic accident is an incident in road traffic involving at least one vehicle that causes injury, damage and loss to the victim. Traffic accidents can cause physical harm to victims who experience them such as injury, physical disability and even death. Injuries due to traffic accidents often occur in Indonesia, this is the biggest cause of disability and mortality in developing countries.[2]
