Zusammenfassung
Objective: Our goal was to detect possible unrecognized injury in cerebral white matter (WM) in adult survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) during childhood, who showed no detectable axonal injury or chronic contusion on late conventional MRI. Material and methods: We used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to detect subtile structural changes in brain morphology and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) to non-invasively probe WM integrity. By means of VBM and DTI we examined a group of 12 adult patients who suffered from childhood closed head injury without axonal injury on late conventional MRI. Results: Patients sus…
