[Analysis of 112 cases with diffuse axonal injury]
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and cerebral contusion, primary brain stem injury and brain concussion.
Methods: One hundred and twelve cases with DAI were analyzed according to the characteristics of clinical signs and imaging features.
Results: Of 112 cases of DAI, 70.5% injured in traffic accident, 60.7% injured with blunt trauma more than one time and 71.4% injured with cerebral contusion. And 90 cases with brain with hemorrhage were found in CT or MRI imaging.
Conclusion: DAI may be associated with cortical contusion and primary brain stem injury. The CT or MRI is useful to investigate the cause of death and to evaluate the personal disability.
