Abstract
Aim: Recent studies found patients with chronic, mild or moderate traumatic brain injury had more regions of enlargement than atrophy. There is little research discussing brain volume enlargement, asymmetry and TBI.
Materials & methods: In this report, we describe a 40-year-old man who suffered a left cerebral hemorrhage resulting in a moderate TBI, suggesting greater forces on the left side of his brain. NeuroQuant® brain volumetric analyses of his MRI obtained 1.7 years post injury showed left cerebral white matter atrophy but right gray matter abnormal enlargement. Abnormal asymmetry of multiple regions (R >L) was confirmed by NeuroGage® asymmetry analyses.
Discussion: The findings suggested that abnormal brain volume enlargement was due to hyperactivity and hypertrophy of less-injured brain regions as a compensatory response to more-injured regions.
