Abstract

Diffusion tensor tractography enables graphical reconstruction of the white matter pathways in the brain and quantitative study of white matter integrity. With this method virtual dissection of the living human brain can be performed. This technique has many potential clinical applications in neurological disorders, including the investigation of stroke. We present tractography findings of a patient that had an acute ischemic infarct in the brain stem. We aimed to report the disintegration of the white matter tracts at the infarct location in vivo, as well as the associated clinical symptoms. The current use of tractography in neurological disorders shows that it has the potential to improve our understanding of the damage and recovery process in diseases of the brain and spinal cord. From a clinical point of view tractography might be used to test new hypotheses, and to provide important new insights into the organization of the brain and the effects of brain disorders.

Özet

Difüzyon tensör traktografi ile beyaz cevher yolaklarının grafiksel canlandırımı ve beyaz cevher bütünlüğünün niceliksel olarak değerlendirilmesi mümkün olmaktadır. Bu yöntem ile canlı bir bireyde beynin sanal diseksiyonu yapılabilir. Bu teknik inme değerlendirmesini de içeren birçok nörolojik hastalıkta klinik uygulama için potansiyel oluşturmaktadır. Yazımızda beyin sapında akut iskemik infarkt olan bir hastanın traktografi bulguları sunulmaktadır. İnfarkt lokalizasyonunda, klinik bulgularla uyumlu olan beyaz cevher yolaklarındaki kesintinin in vivo gösterilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Traktografinin günümüzde nörolojik hastalıklardaki uygulamaları, bu yöntemin beyin ve spinal korddaki hasarı ve iyileşmeyi anlayabilmemizi artırıcı potansiyele sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Klinik açıdan bakıldığında, traktografi yeni hipotezleri test etmek, beynin yapılandırılması ve beyin hastalıklarının etkilerinin anlaşılmasında önemli yeni görüşler elde etmek için kullanılabilir.
