AbstractBackgroundThe corpus callosum (CC) serves as the bridge that relays information between the two cerebral hemispheres, and is one of the most commonly injured areas after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study was designed to investigate the association between the CC integrity and language function after TBI.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 30 patients with TBI who underwent diffusion tensor imaging and language function evaluation using the Western Aphasia Battery. The CC was divided into five segments (C1-C5) according to its projecting fibers using Hofer’s method, and fractional anisotropy (FA) values were measured using DSI studio software. The FA values of the left arcuate fasciculus and cingulum for language function and executive function, respectively, were also evaluated. Twelve healthy controls were also enrolled to compare the FA values of these tracts.ResultsThe FA values of the cingulum and left arcuate fasciculus were significantly correlated with all language scores. The FA values of the entire CC were significantly correlated with the fluency, repetition, and aphasia quotient scores. The FA values of the anterior CC segment (C1 and C2) significantly correlated with the aphasia quotient score; C1 with the fluency score; and C2 with the fluency, comprehension, and repetition scores. However, the FA values of the posterior CC (C3-C5) were not significantly correlated with any of the language subset scores.ConclusionThe language function in patients with TBI is correlated with the integrity of the white matter tracts important for language and attention processes. Moreover, disruption of the CC is common after TBI, and the anterior CC segment plays an important role in language impairment after TBI. Therefore, analyzing CC integrity using diffusion tensor imaging can help predict language impairment in patients with TBI.
