PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Paediatric @entity131 ( @entity131 ) has been associated with acute and long-term mathematical difficulties. Little is known about the recovery of these impairments in @entity1 with mild @entity131 (mTBI) and their underlying pathophysiology, such as @entity62 . RESEARCH DESIGN: A prospective longitudinal study followed the recovery of mathematical @entity62 in @entity1 with mTBI from the sub-acute (1 month @entity130 ) to chronic stage (6-8 months @entity130 ) of recovery. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Twenty @entity1 with mTBI and 20 matched controls completed mathematics tests. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) metrics of white matter pathways corpus callosum (CC), superior and @entity3057 were examined with DTI-tractography. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: Mathematical difficulties and @entity62 in the CC observed shortly after the injury resolved after 6-8 months of recovery. @entity1 with mTBI continued to show working @entity2414 . Longitudinal DTI data suggest continued maturation of the CC in controls, but little maturation of the damaged CC in @entity1 with mTBI. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with mTBI recovered in terms of mathematical @entity62 . These @entity1 continued to show working @entity2414 , which might interfere with learning at school.
