Diffuse axonal injury

Discussion:

This is a case of diffuse axonal injuries in classic locations:

  • gray/white matter interface (predominantly in frontal and temporal lobes)
  • corpus callosum (especially the splenium)
  • dorsolateral midbrain

The lesions appear as T2/FLAIR hyperintense foci which show restricted diffusion. Hemorrhagic lesions additionally show hypointense signal in T2* gradient echo and susceptibility weighted images (SWI).
