This case report details a rare instance of brain stem injury (BSI) in a young woman following a motor vehicle collision. The injury involved significant brain stem distortion, leading to severe disability.

Area of Science:

  • Neurotrauma
  • Neuroradiology
  • Traumatic Brain Injury

Background:

  • Primary traumatic brain stem injury (BSI) typically involves lesions in the dorsal midbrain.
  • Significant distortion of the brain stem structure itself is an uncommon presentation.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old female sustained a severe brain stem injury from a motor vehicle collision.
  • MRI revealed marked midbrain and pons distortion, anterior displacement, and a fractured clivus.
  • The medulla oblongata exhibited an unusual loose, winding configuration.

Findings:

  • The brain stem injury was characterized by structural distortion rather than focal lesions.
  • A concurrent clivus fracture was identified as a key factor.
  • Acceleration and rotational forces contributed to the brain stem trauma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare mechanism of severe brain stem injury.
  • Understanding such injuries is crucial for diagnosis and management of traumatic brain stem injury.
  • Clivus fractures may play a significant role in specific BSI mechanisms.
