Traumatic lesions of corpus callosum: early multidetector CT findings

摘要

Corpus callosum is one of the common sites of brain lesion, whose involvement is an indicator of a more severe prognosis, produced by traumatic shearing stresses resulting in diffuse axonal injury (DAI). Computed tomography (CT) in acute phase is considered to have a limited role for the detection of non-hemorrhagic or petechial hemorrhagic DAI lesions.
