Relationship between Dizziness and the Core Vestibular Projection Injury in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Some studies have reported that a core vestibular projection (CVP) injury is associated with dizziness following a brain injury using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). On the other hand, there has been no DTT study on dizziness caused by a CVP injury in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (...

In this study, DTT was used to examine the relationship between dizziness and CVP injury in patients with mild TBI. Forty-three patients with mild TBI and twenty-nine normal subjects were recruited. The patients were classified into two groups based on the dizziness score: group A, patients with a dizziness score less than 2 on the sub-item score for dizziness in the Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire; group B, patients with a dizziness score above 2. The tract volume (TV) in group B was significantly lower than group A and the control group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). By contrast, the TV in group A was similar to the control group (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Regarding the correlation, the dizziness score of all patients showed a strong negative correlation with the TV of the CVP (<i>r</i> = −0.711, <i>p</i> < 0.05). DTT revealed the CVP injury in patients with dizziness after mild TBI. In addition, the severity of dizziness of these patients was closely related to the injury severity of the CVP.Sung-Ho JangChang-Hoon BaeJae-Woon KimHyeok-Gyu KwonMDPI AGarticledizzinesscore vestibular projectionvestibular nucleiparieto-insular vestibular cortexmild traumatic brain injurydiffusion tensor tractographyMedicine (General)R5-920ENDiagnostics, Vol 11, Iss 2070, p 2070 (2021)
