Brain magnetic resonance (MRI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) images in a patient with traumatic axonal injury at the subcortical white matter. (A) Brain MRI taken at 2 weeks after onset shows a leukomalactic lesion in the right fronto-temporal lobe (red arrows). (B) Results of DTT. On 2-week DTT, the majority of the right CST fibers show complete discontinuation (blue arrows) at the subcortical white matter except for a few fibers connected to the cerebral cortex. By contrast, the left CST shows partial tearing at the subcortical white matter (blue arrows). On 11-month DTT, the majority of the discontinued right CST fibers are elongated to the right cerebral cortex (green arrows) and recovery of some fibers (green arrows) from the left torn CST was observed. R: Right; A: anterior; L: left.
