Corpus Callosum Diffusion Anisotropy Correlates with Neuropsychological Outcomes in Twins Disconcordant for Traumatic Brain Injury

Corpus Callosum Diffusion Anisotropy Correlates with Neuropsychological Outcomes in Twins... SUMMARY: Conventional and diffusion tensor MR imaging studies in twins sustaining severe pediatric traumatic brain injury identified reduction in fractional anisotropy (FA) in all regions of the corpus callosum, particularly the posterior body, rostral body, and genu, relative to healthy cotwins. FA from the rostrum, genu, anterior body, posterior body, and isthmus were correlated with measures of reading speed and comprehension; verbal working memory and math fact retrieval scores were correlated only with the rostral body FA. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Neuroradiology American Journal of Neuroradiology
