Abstract:
We present a 32-year-old woman with a parasagittal white matter shearing injury of the left frontal lobe following a motor vehicle collision. There was monoplegia of the right lower extremity. Computed tomography failed to demonstrate the lesion which was visible on magnetic resonance images. In particular, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images were useful to depict the shearing injury, since sulci were of low intensity on those images.
