Abstract
We present a 32-year-old woman with a parasagittal white matter sheari ng injury of the left frontal lobe following a motor vehicle collision . There was monoplegia of the right lower extremity. Computed tomograp hy failed to demonstrate the lesion which was visible on magnetic reso nance images. In particular, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image s were useful to depict the shearing injury, since sulci were of low i ntensity on those images.
