White matter abnormalities are associated with chronic postconcussion symptoms in blast-related mild traumatic brain injury.
Blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common injury among Iraq and Afghanistan military veterans due to the frequent use of improvised explosive devices. A significant minority of individuals with mTBI report chronic postconcussion symptoms (PCS), which include physical, emotional, and cognitive complaints. However, chronic PCS are nonspecific and are also associated with mental...
متن کاملThe nature of white matter abnormalities in blast-related mild traumatic brain injury
Blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been a common injury among returning troops due to the widespread use of improvised explosive devices in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. As most of the TBIs sustained are in the mild range, brain changes may not be detected by standard clinical imaging techniques such as CT. Furthermore, the functional significance of these types of injuries is curr...
متن کاملGray matter abnormalities in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury.
Pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (pmTBI) is the most prevalent neurological insult in children and is associated with both acute and chronic neuropsychiatric sequelae. However, little is known about underlying pathophysiology changes in gray matter diffusion and atrophy from a prospective stand-point. Fifteen semi-acute pmTBI patients and 15 well-matched healthy controls were evaluated wit...
متن کاملWhite matter abnormalities in mild traumatic brain injury: a diffusion tensor imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Traumatic axonal injury is a primary brain abnormality in head trauma and is characterized by reduction of fractional anisotropy (FA) on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Our hypothesis was that patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) have widespread brain white matter regions of reduced FA involving a variety of fiber bundles and show fiber disruption on fiber trac...
متن کاملAltered Cerebellar White Matter Integrity in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Acute Stage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Imaging studies of traumatic brain injury demonstrate that the cerebellum is often affected. We aim to examine fractional anisotropy alteration in acute-phase mild traumatic brain injury patients in cerebellum-related white matter tracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 47 mild traumatic brain injury patients in the acute stage and 37 controls. MR ...
