Traumatic axonal injury of the corticospinal tract in the subcortical white matter in patients with mild traumatic brain injury.

Abstract

Little is known about injury of the corticospinal tract (CST) in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study reports on patients with mild TBI who showed traumatic axonal injury of the CST in the sub-cortical white matter, as demonstrated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).
