Brain MRI imaging and diffusion tensor tractography for a 27-year-old male patient with diffuse axonal injury. (A) Brain MR images at 1 and 7 years after onset show no abnormality. (B) Results of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) for the spinothalamic tract (STT) in both hemispheres. Partial tearing at the subcortical white matter in both STTs is observed on 1-year DTT (sky-blue arrows) and both partially torn STTs show severe degeneration at the subcortical white matter on 7-year DTT (green arrows). A: Anterior; R: right.
