Diffuse axonal injury is characterized by multiple focal lesions with a characteristic distribution: typically located at the grey-white matter junction, in the corpus callosum, and in more severe cases in the brainstem (see: grading of diffuse axonal injury).

Grading of diffuse axonal injury due to trauma is described according to the anatomic distribution of injury. Contrary to the implication of the word "diffuse," diffuse axonal injury has a topological predilection for focal involvement of certain sites in the brain.
MRI reveals features of grade 3 diffuse axonal injury with small T2 hyperintense, diffusion restricting foci at the bilateral frontal grey-white junctions, within the corpus callosum (including the splenium) and within the dorsal midbrain / superior cerebellar peduncles bilaterally.
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), also known as traumatic axonal injury (TAI), is a severe form of traumatic brain injury due to shearing forces. It is a potentially difficult diagnosis to make on imaging alone, especially on CT as the finding can be ...

Areas of intracranial hemorrhage including: 1) multiple hemorrhagic contusions predominately at the gray-white junction (most consistent with diffuse axonal injury), 2) 6 mm right posterior parietal convexity subdural hematoma, 3) Bilateral lateral and third ventricular hemorrhage and 4) bilateral frontoparietal convexity trace subarachnoid ...
