Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) : Understanding the primary mechanism behind traumatic brain injury.

This video is about the most common cause of the symptoms behind Traumatic Brain Injury: Diffuse Axonal Injury. In this video we take a look at the mechanism behind DAI, the pathophysiology of Diffuse Axonal Injury, How DAI severity is graded, and what prognosis is likely to be following DAI. We also talk about prospective treatment and what we can currently do today for DAI.

thank you very much this helped me better understand the topic as i was researching the topic for my psychology class

Thank you for this. My husband has been in a coma for 26 days now after suffering a grade 3 DAI due to a motorcycle accident. I was just told yesterday from the trauma team that at this point, my husband may stay in a persistent vegetative state. I am devastated. Your video helped me understand his injury a little more. Thank you.

Thank you. Very clear and cogent intel and delivered in a digestible fashion. (Smooth enough for ME. If you were any smoother, you'd be slick; and who needs that?) I have ongoing damage from a bicycle accident, that I am still trying to fully understand and assess nearly 18 months later. Problems with my balance and walking. Motor cortex is adversely affected. Once a runner. No longer, for the nonce.

Well Done. I received your message well.

Thank you, sir. For this video, i have a brain jnjury from being hit by a car crossing the road and was vaulted into the air backwards at the rear end of the travelling vehicle. Everything was going in slow motion once impacted by this car, i have white matter hyperintensity in corpus callsum, with scattered subcortical foci, hyperintensity throughout periventricular and ventrical horns, a slight bleed to the right side of my pons, everyday is a struggle with this extreme fatigue and this heavy tiredness inside my head all over my crown its a deep dull ache i have a left arm that has a fly away reaction, vascular restrictions down both arms with blood pooling under my skin on my hands, i just want to sleep as my spine in my cervical and thoracic is damaged, that is a problem, but i truly can state as a fact the ongoing circumstances that are in my brain sensations never stops im so tired but only sleep for a few hours all night long, here in Australia they dont care as i was hit by a car and the sad truth is that its because i was hit by a car and insurance doctors are frauds im still getting denials from these type of doctors, im too tired to care much anymore about how compromised they are i just want to know what type of help can i get to help with this type of brain injury.

I agree with you when you talked about how some believe there are more than just the 3 grades. I would think if the brainstem is involved but showing only ''subtle'' damaged and also only unilaterally it would not be the same as bilateral involvement. Would not be a grade 3 but also not a grade 2 as the brainstem is involved. I also read unilaterally only involvement gives a much better prognosis.

I had a paliet go threw the roof of my mouth in my erly 30s wich gave me a stroke an it paralised my left side its a led palet an its still in my brain 20 years later good luck everyone

Great video I had DAI, and now have axonal neuropathy, could they connected.

[TrumpAndKamila]

At the 16:40 min the spaces you are talking about (spaces). Would they be reported at ischemic foci? Without Gliosis? (No iron deposits scene ?
