N2  - Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the second most common lethal head trauma after subdural hematoma and probably the most frequent cause of traumatic coma in the absence of an expanding intracranial mass lesion. Though it occurs most often in traffic accidents, it may occasionally result from falls from a height. Previously, it has not been associated with a simple fall or a fall of a distance not more than the victim's own height. We report herein a case of DAI from a simple fall.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
