Symptom Persistence Relates to Volume and Asymmetry of the Limbic System after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT: Background: Persistent symptoms have been reported in up to 50% of the 27 million people with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) every year. MRI findings are currently limited by low diagnostic and prognostic sensitivities, constraining the value of imaging in the stratification of patients following mTBI. Limbic system structures are promising brain regions in offering prognostic factors for symptom persistence following mTBI. The objective of this study was to associate volume and symmetry of limbic system structures with the presence and persistence of common symptoms in patients with mTBI. Methods: This study focused on 524 adults (aged 18-82), 58% female, with 82% injured in motor vehicle accidents and 28% reporting loss of consciousness (LOC). Magnetic resonance imagi
