Abstract

Objective Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters were investigated in patients with chronic idiopathic hydrocephalus to evaluate microstructural changes of brain tissue caused by chronic ventricular dilatation. Methods Eleven patients fulfilling the criteria for possible or probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and 10 healthy control subjects underwent MRI at 3 Tesla, including DTI with 12 gradient directions. Patients were scanned before lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) withdrawal tests. Differences in fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) between patients and controls were assessed using 2 different methods: manual definition of regions of interest and a fully automated method, TBSS (Tract-Based Spatial Statistics). DTI parameters were correlated with clinical findings. Results Compared with the control group, patients with chronic idiopathic hydrocephalus had significantly higher MD values in both the periventricular corticospinal tract (CST) and the corpus callosum (CC), whereas FA values were significantly higher in the CST but lower in the CC. DTI parameters of the CST correlated with the severity of gait disturbances. Conclusion Microstructural changes in periventricular functionally relevant white matter structures (CSF, CC) in chronic idiopathic hydrocephalus can be visualized using DTI. Further studies should investigate the change of DTI parameters after CSF shunting and its relation to neurologic outcome.

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.
