1 Diffuse axonal injury in a 20-year-old man after motor vehicle accident.A, T2-weighted image shows hyperintense lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum and left frontal gray matter–white matter junction (arrows).B and C, DW images show these lesions ... Diffuse axonal injury in a 20-year-old man after motor vehicle accident.A, T2-weighted image shows hyperintense lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum and left frontal gray matter–white matter junction (arrows).B and C, DW images show these lesions as hyperintense with decreased ADC; they represent cytotoxic edema presumably due to the leakage of glutamate from the axon.
