Traumatic brain injury and the frontal lobes: what can we gain with diffusion tensor imaging?
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death in the young population and long-term disability in relation to pervasive cognitive-behavioural disturbances that follow frontal lobe damage. To date, emphasis has been placed primarily on the clinical correlates of frontal cortex damage, whilst identification of the contribution of subjacent white matter lesion is less clear. Our poor un...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging and traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Americans, especially those under age 45. TBI accounts for more than 500,000 emergency department visits annually (Nirula et al., 2003). Closed head injury produces cerebral edema, hemorrhage, contusions, and ischemia. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is also a common consequence of head trauma, and results from rotational...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging in mild traumatic brain injury litigation.
A growing body of literature addresses the application of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Most TBIs are of mild severity, and their diagnosis and prognosis are often challenging. These challenges may be exacerbated in medicolegal contexts, where plaintiffs seek to present objective evidence that supports a clinical diagnosis of mild (m)TBI. Because DTI permits qu...
متن کاملWhite matter and reading deficits after pediatric traumatic brain injury: A diffusion tensor imaging study
Pediatric traumatic brain injury often results in significant long-term deficits in mastery of reading ability. This study aimed to identify white matter pathways that, when damaged, predicted reading deficits in children. Based on the dual-route model of word reading, we predicted that integrity of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus would be related to performance in sight word identific...
متن کاملPrediction of Clinically Important Traumatic Brain Injury in Pediatric Minor Head Trauma; proposing Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (PTBI) Prognostic Rule
Background: The present study assesses independent predictors of clinically important traumatic brain injury (ciTBI) in order to design a prognostic rule for identification of high risk children with mild head injury. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective cross-sectional study, 3,199 children with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) brought to emergency ward of three hospitals in Tehran, Iran...
