Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in a series of 21 children and adolescents who had been hospitalized after sustaining closed head injuries of varying severity at least 6 months previously. Areas of high intensity in the parenchyma were present in 8 of the 11 severely injured patients, whereas MRI findings were normal in all 10 patients with mild-to-moderate head injuries. Lesions involving the subcortical white matter were confined to severely injured patients whose clinical features were compatible with diffuse axonal injury. Neuropsychological assessment disclosed deficits primarily in the severely injured patients; these deficits were significantly associated with persistent lesions visualized by MRI. Serial MRI and neurobehavioral assessment following early injury may be useful in documenting cognitive impairment in relation to structural alterations of the young brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
