Injury of the spinothalamic tract in a patient with mild traumatic brain injury: diffusion tensor tractography study.
OBJECTIVE To report on a patient found to have injury of the spinothalamic tract on diffusion tensor tractography following traumatic brain injury. CASE DESCRIPTION A 29-year-old male patient with head trauma resulting from a pedestrian car accident presented with pain in multiple areas (both subscapular areas, posterior head and neck, both upper trapezius areas, and the right arm and leg). H...
متن کاملAberrant Pyramidal Tract in Comparison with Pyramidal Tract on Diffusion Tensor Tractography: A Mini-Review
The pyramidal tract (PT) is a major neural tract that controls voluntary movements in the human brain. The PT has several collateral pathways, including the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT), which passes through the medial lemniscus location at the midbrain and pons. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) allows visualization and estimation of the APT in three dimensions. In this mini-review, eight ...
متن کاملCentral Pain Due to Spinothalamic Tract Injury by Head Trauma Caused by Falling Object
female who suffered trauma from a falling large box (100 cm×30 cm×30 cm) that hit the vertex of her head while seated in a subway car. The patient experienced loss of consciousness for several minutes, and post-traumatic amnesia for several minutes, with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. She experienced severe bursting pain in her head, neck and upper back immediately after the head trauma; and...
متن کاملA Review of Traumatic Axonal Injury following Whiplash Injury As Demonstrated by Diffusion Tensor Tractography
Whiplash is a bony or soft tissue injury resulting from an acceleration-deceleration energy transfer in the neck. Although patients with whiplash injury often complain of cerebral symptoms, and previous studies have reported evidence indicating brain injury, such an association has not been clearly elucidated. Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) is tearing of axons due to indirect shearing forces dur...
متن کاملEvaluation of White Matter Tracts in Autistic Individuals: A Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies
Introduction: Many cognitive and social deficits in autism are caused by abnormal functional connections between brain networks, which are manifested by impaired integrity of white matter tracts. White matter tracts are like the "highways" of the brain, which allow fast and efficient communication in different areas of the brain. The purpose of this article is to review the results of autism st...
