초록
We investigated the diffusion tensor image (DTI) parameters of superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), and their relationships with hemispatial neglect. Thirteen patients with first-ever ischemic stroke who had the right hemispheric lesion were included. Neglect was assessed using the Albert test and figure discrimination test of Motor-free Visual Perception Test 3 (MVPT-3). The SLF and IFOF were separated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) and tract volume (TV) was calculated. We measured the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the total area, seed region of interest (ROI), and target ROI, respectively. Among thirteen patients, seven demonstrated signs of hemispatial neglect on neglect test. Tractography reconstruction showed significantly low TV of the right IFOF in patients with hemispatial neglect. FA values of the right SLF and the right IFOF were significantly lower in neglect patients. ADC values were not significantly different in two groups. This study suggests that damage of SLF and IFOF is associated with hemispatial neglect in right hemispheric stroke patients. DTI may be useful for predicting the severities of hemispatial neglect using values such as TV and FA of each tract.
Abstract
We investigated the diffusion tensor image (DTI) parameters of superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), and their relationships with hemispatial neglect. Thirteen patients with first-ever ischemic stroke who had the right hemispheric lesion were included. Neglect was assessed using the Albert test and figure discrimination test of Motor-free Visual Perception Test 3 (MVPT-3). The SLF and IFOF were separated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) and tract volume (TV) was calculated. We measured the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the total area, seed region of interest (ROI), and target ROI, respectively. Among thirteen patients, seven demonstrated signs of hemispatial neglect on neglect test. Tractography reconstruction showed significantly low TV of the right IFOF in patients with hemispatial neglect. FA values of the right SLF and the right IFOF were significantly lower in neglect patients. ADC values were not significantly different in two groups. This study suggests that damage of SLF and IFOF is associated with hemispatial neglect in right hemispheric stroke patients. DTI may be useful for predicting the severities of hemispatial neglect using values such as TV and FA of each tract.
