Abstract:
"Gliding" contusions, ie, hemorrhagic lesions in the parasagittal white matter, were analyzed in 434 fatal nonmissile head injuries in humans. It is concluded that gliding contusions are a type of diffuse brain damage occurring at the moment of injury. Gliding contusions are significantly associated with road-traffic accidents, with the absence of a skull fracture or a "lucid interval," and with the presence of diffuse axonal injury and deep hemispheric traumatic hematomas.
