概要 Background: Infantile traumatic brain injury (TBI) with a biphasic clinical course and late reduced diffusion (TBIRD) has been reported as a type of TBI. However, it remains uncertain which pediatric patients with TBI develop TBIRD.
Methods: Patients with TBI who were admitted to our hospital and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between December 2006 and October 2022 were included in this study. A diagnosis of TBIRD was made in patients with or suspected TBI, with initial symptoms being convulsions or disturbance of consciousness and late-onset subcortical reduced diffusion, the so-called bright tree appearance. Clinical features, neuroimaging (computed tomography (CT) and MRI) findings, laboratory data, and Tada score were retrospectively compared between TBIRD and non-TBIRD patients. Neurological prognosis was assessed using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scale.
Results: Of 21 patients who met the inclusion criteria, a diagnosis of TBIRD was made in 7 patients (median age: 8 months). The factors contributing to TBIRD development were seizures lasting over 30 min as the initial symptom (5/7 in TBIRD vs. 0/14 in non-TBIRD), tracheal intubation during initial treatment (5/7 vs. 0/14), and brain parenchymal lesions on CT (3/7 vs. 0/14), suggesting that severe TBI may progress to TBIRD. The Tada score was more positive in patients with TBIRD (6/7) than in those without (0/14).
Conclusions: It is important to monitor infant patients with severe TBI for the development of TBIRD. The Tada score can be a useful tool for TBIRD prediction.
