: Persistent symptoms have been reported in up to 50% of the 27 million people with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) every year. MRI findings are currently limited by low diagnostic and prognostic sensitivities, constraining the value of imaging in the stratification of patients following mTBI. Limbic system structures are promising brain regions in offering prognostic factors for symptom persistence following mTBI. The objective of this study was to associate volume and symmetry of limbic system structures with the presence and persistence of common symptoms in patients with mTBI. This study focused on 524 adults (aged 18-82), 58% female, with 82% injured in motor vehicle accidents and 28% reporting loss of consciousness (LOC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data included a sagittal 3D T1-weighted sequence with 1.2 mm slice thickness, with voxel sizes of 0.93 mm × 0.93 mm × 1.2 mm, obtained a median of 156 days after injury. Symptom diagnosis and persistence were collected retrospectively from patient medical records. Intracranial volume-adjusted regional volumes per side utilizing automated volumetric analysis (NeuroQuant) were used to calculate total volume, laterality index, and side-independent asymmetry. Covariates included age, sex, LOC, and days from injury. Limbic volumetrics did not relate to symptom presentation, except the (-) association between headache presence and thalamus volume (adjusted odds ratio = 0.51, 95% confidence interval = 0.32, 0.85). Headache, balance problems, anxiety, and depression persistence was (-) associated with thalamus volume (hazard ratio (HR) 1.25 to 1.94). Longer persistence of balance problems was associated with (-) lateral orbitofrontal cortex volume (HR = 1.33) and (+) asymmetry of the hippocampus (HR = 0.27). Persistence of cognitive deficits was associated with (+) asymmetry in the caudal anterior cingulate (HR = 0.67). Depression persistence was associated with (+) asymmetry in the isthmus of the cingulate gyrus (HR = 5.39). Persistence of anxiety was associated with (-) volume of the parahippocampal gyrus (HR = 1.67), orbitofrontal cortex (HR > 1.97), and right-biased laterality of the entorhinal cortex (HR = 0.52). Relative volume and asymmetry of the limbic system structures in patients with mTBI are associated with the persistence of symptoms, particularly anxiety. The conclusions of this study are limited by the absence of a reference group with no mTBI.
