Abstract
Head trauma of varying severity may induce diffuse axonal injury. Areas most commonly affected are white matter in the hemispheres (particularly parasagittal zone), corpus callosum and the brain stem. We describe a case of diffuse axonal injury after brain trauma in a 51-year-old man. Diffuse axonal injury was localized in the white matter of the hemispheres (parasagittal zone) and the patient presents a complete motor deficit of the feet.
