Diffuse axonal injury after head trauma. A review.

Traumatic brain injury is a major health problem in all developed countries. Because of the long-term disabilities suffered by head-injured patients, such injuries are a continuous organizational challenge for health systems and a burden for community and families in terms of monetary cost, suffering and disability (Fearnside MR et al. 1997).
