Pathomechanism of infantile traumatic brain injury with a biphasic clinical course and late reduced diffusion evaluated by MR spectroscopy
Background
Infantile traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a biphasic clinical course and late reduced diffusion (TBIRD) has recently been reported as a distinct type of TBI in infancy. However, the pathological and prognostic factors of TBIRD remain unknown. We aimed to compare patients with and without TBIRD and evaluate the pathomechanism of TBIRD using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).
Methods
Ten Japanese patients with TBI were admitted to our hospital and underwent MRS between September 2015 and September 2022 (age range, 3–15 months; median age, 8.5 months). TBIRD was diagnosed in six patients. MRS data were compared among patients with TBIRD, patients without TBIRD, and controls. Neurological prognosis was classified into grades 1 (normal) to 3 (severe).
Results
In patients with TBIRD, MRS revealed an increase in the glutamine (Gln) level on days 3–29, which subsequently became close to normal. The degree of Gln elevation in the non-TBIRD group was smaller (117–158 % of controls) than that in the TBIRD group (210–337 %) within 14 days. MRS in the TBIRD group showed decreased N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) concentrations. The degree of NAA decrease was more prominent in grade 3 than in grades 1 and 2. NAA levels in the non-TBIRD group were almost normal.
Conclusions
Patients with TBI and markedly elevated Gln levels on MRS may develop TBIRD. Neuro-excitotoxicity is a possible pathological mechanism of TBIRD. Decreased NAA levels may be useful for predicting the prognosis of patients with TBIRD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).
JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.
