ABSTRACT
In traumatic brain injury, white matter diffusion restriction can be an imaging manifestation of non-hemorrhagic axonal injury. In this article, a different pattern of widespread white matter diffusion restriction associated with ipsilateral cortical damage, all noted in pediatric and young adult TBI patients, is presented. Its atypical pattern of distribution and extensive scope on imaging suggest excitotoxicity and intramyelinic edema as possible underlying mechanisms.
