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).

متن کاملTraumatic axonal injury of the medial lemniscus pathway in a patient with traumatic brain injury: validation by diffusion tensor tractography
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disability-causing neurological disorder. For successful rehabilitation of TBI patients, a thorough evaluation of the presence and extent of neural injury is essential for determining the optimal rehabilitation strategy and accurate prognosis. However, it is difficult to determine the status of neural tracts. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), derived ...
متن کاملDiffuse axonal injury in mild traumatic brain injury: a diffusion tensor imaging study.
OBJECT Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a major complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that leads to functional and psychological deficits. Although DAI is frequently underdiagnosed by conventional imaging modalities, it can be demonstrated using diffusion tensor imaging. The aim of this study was to assess the presence and extent of DAI in patients with mild TBI. METHODS Forty-six patien...
متن کاملDegeneration of cingulum and fornix in a patient with traumatic brain injury: diffuse tensor tractography study.
OBJECTIVES The cingulum and fornix are important structures for memory function. Using follow-up diffusion tensor tractography in a patient with traumatic brain injury we found degeneration of the cingulum and fornix. CASE REPORT An 18-year-old male who had had a traffic accident underwent conservative management for diffuse axonal injury. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed an encephalom...
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...
