Abstract
Diffuse axonal injury is one of the most important types of brain damage that can occur in the course of a head injury. Its presence can usually be predicted post-mortem because of the presence of focal macroscopic abnormalities in the corpus callosum and in the brain stem. This report describes nine cases where the diagnosis could only be made on the basis of histological studies.Keywords
