All of the following are true about diffuse axonal injuries except:
DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURIES (DAI) - DAI represents the presence of widespread axonal damage (white matter)in both hemispheres secondary to serve head injury. - Results from application of severe acceleration/ deceleration or angular strain to the brain (injuries to axons by shering force) - MC location: Lobar white matter at the junction of grey and white matter>Corpus callosum> Brain stem - Loss of conscciousness is a common finding - DAI: MC cause of post-traumatic vegetative state - Raised ICT may or may not be associated - MRI is IOC for DAI(better than CT scan).
