Voxel‐based morphometry detects cortical atrophy in the Parkinson variant of multiple system atrophy
Abstract
To determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns of brain atrophy in parkinsonian syndromes, we applied voxel‐based morphometry (VBM) to segmented gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid compartments of T 1‐weighted brain volumes of 12 patients with probable multiple system atrophy–parkinson variant (MSA‐P) and 12 Parkinson's disease patients, comparing them with 12 normal controls matched for age. In comparison to controls, a cortical atrophy pattern was observed in MSA‐P patients with significant clusters of volume loss in primary sensorimotor cortices bilateral, supplementary motor areas bilateral, right premotor cortex, prefrontal cortex bilateral (middle frontal gyri) and insular cortices bilateral; subcortical atrophy occurred bilaterally in caudate nuclei and putamen as well as in the midbrain. Furthermore, an enlargement of the cerebrospinal fluid compartment was found in the lateral ventricles, third ventricle, perimesencephalic and cerebellomedullar cavities. In PD patients, significant atrophy only occurred in left caudate head with enlargement of left lateral ventricle. Comparing MSA‐P to PD patients, MSA‐P showed a similar cortical pattern of atrophy as compared to controls. We conclude that VBM reveals selective cortical atrophy in patients with MSA‐P affecting primary and higher order motor areas as well as prefrontal and insular cortices. Further studies are required to determine clinical and/or subclinical correlates of cortical atrophy in MSA‐P. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
