ABSTRACT

methods, for the first time postmortem brain changes caused by diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in the first three days after injury were studied, which allowed to develop criteria for diagnosis and establishing the DAI formation time. The necessity is substantiated to revise the existing concept of DAI, clarifying its pathomorphological criteria and determining the place of this form of brain injury in the TBI classification.
