Precision of Gwyneth Paltrow had a brain damage long before the skiing accident

The accuser of Gwyneth Paltrow suffered long before his collision with the actress on a ski slope in Utah on a brain disease, as an expert in neurology said.

Terry Sanderson, an optician in retirement, sued the actress and claims that in an incident in 2016 she bounced into him, who left him "permanent traumatic brain injuries, suffering, loss of joie de vivre and emotional stress".

The neuroradiologist Dr. Carl Black, who testified on Wednesday for the defense, said that he had checked MRI scans of Mr. Sanderson's brain that were made before and after the crash, and came to the conclusion that he saw no signs of a new injury.

dr. Black said that the 76-year-old showed signs of a "illness of the white substance" before 2016, which apparently hadn't worsened.

White Matter Disease is a umbrella term for age -related damage to the white substance of a brain caused by a reduced blood flow to the tissue. It can cause problems with memory, balance and mobility.

It can be distinguished from dementia that affects the language and long -term memory.

"So do you see the same state in the brain both before and after the accident?" Asked Stephen Owens, a lawyer of Ms. Paltrow.

"Yes, over a period of 11 years," replied Dr. Black.

after Dr. Black on the seventh day of the negotiation, which is expected to end on Thursday, became the neurologist Dr. Robert Hoesch called for defense.

He claimed that all complaints under which Mr. Sanderson suffered, including mood swings and personality changes, were "probably due to existing diseases".

"If you read records before and after the collision, that doesn't change anything on the trajectory," said Dr. Hoesch to the court.

The only neurological problems that Mr. Sanderson had after the collision can be attributed to "a slight concussion", he said.

"96 percent or more would have completely recovered from this severity of the concealment of the brain, 99 percent within a few months. They are not permanent, as the applicant's experts claim," added Dr. Hoesch added.

He found that Mr. Sanderson never suffered from consciousness disorders, as the pensioner, skier colleague and friend Craig Ramone had previously attested - "or if so, it didn't take longer than seconds".

he also pointed out the white substance that was shown in Mr. Sanderson's brain scans.

The lawyers of Mr. Sanderson called his family doctor and experts in neurology, neuropsychology and radiology to testify to the extent of his injuries and his post-hirner conception syndrome.

They established a connection between the accident and the symptoms that he still has.

The process continues.
