Longitudinal study of the diffusion tensor imaging properties of the corpus callosum in acute and chronic diffuse axonal injury. Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) is used increasingly to detect diffuse axonal injury (DAI) after traumatic brain injury (TBI).The prim......
Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is one of the most common and important pathologic features of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The susceptibility of axons to mechanical injury appears to be due to both their viscoelastic properties and their high organization in white matter tracts. Although...
The general classification of head injury proposed by Marshall et al , based on admission CT scan findings, might mask a group of patients who have Diffuse Brain Injury (DI) in addition to intracranial haematomas. The aim of this study was to assess possible differences in outcome with respect...
We investigated the functional prognosis after traumatic diffuse axonal injury in children. We evaluated the status of the acute stage, as well as the functional independence measure (FIM) and intelligence quotient (IQ) at 4, 12, and 24 months after the injury. Physical disabilities persisted in...
PURPOSE: Our goal was to evaluate the use of the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) in the detection of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) resulting from traumatic brain injury in a swine model. METHOD: DAI was created by applying a nonimpact, coronal plane, rotational acceleration to the heads of...
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between the degrees of injury on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the time interval to recovery of consciousness in patients with diffuse axonal injury. METHODS: From January 2004 to December 2008, 25 patients with diffuse...
This study aimed to investigate the cortical motor excitability characteristics in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) due to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). A variety of excitatory and inhibitory transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigms were applied to primary motor cortices of 17 patients and ...
University of Satilde;o Paulo Medical School, Satilde;o Paulo, Brazil Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), a common cause of neurological sequelae in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), is considered one of the most prevalent forms of primary neuronal injury in patients with severe...
Objective Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is prevalent in traumatic brain injury (TBI), and is often associated with poor outcomes and cognitive impairment, including memory deficits. Few studies have explored visual memory after TBI and its relationship to executive functioning. Executive functioning is ...
Acute subdural hematoma and diffuse axonal injury after severe head trauma The association of acute subdural hematoma (SDH) and diffuse axonal injury has received little attention in the literature. The authors report the clinicop... J Sahuquillo-Barris,J Lamarca-Ciuro,J Vilalta-Castan,... - ...
