Diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) tractography effectively assessed a small brainstem infarct, correlating imaging findings with a patient's third cranial nerve palsy. This technique aids in diagnosing subtle lesions in critical brain regions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Assessing small infarcts in the brainstem presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) tractography offers potential for detailed neural pathway visualization.

Observation:

  • A patient with isolated left third cranial nerve palsy underwent MRI.
  • Conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showed an equivocal lesion.
  • Thin-slice DTI delineated the lesion more clearly.

Findings:

  • The lesion was located in the left paramedian midbrain.
  • DTI tractography revealed the lesion involved the third cranial nerve tract.
  • This correlated directly with the patient's clinical presentation.

Implications:

  • DTI tractography is feasible for evaluating small brainstem infarcts.
  • This technique enables direct clinicoradiological correlation for subtle neurological lesions.
  • It enhances diagnostic accuracy for brainstem pathologies.
