Motor Organization in Schizencephaly: Outcomes of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Motor Tract Projections Correlate with the Different Domains of Hand Function

Figure 3

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging of schizencephaly patients and cross-sectional comparison of cerebral peduncle and corticospinal tract fibers in the pons. T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images of each schizencephaly patient (upper panel). Measurement of the cross-sectional area at the peduncle (lower red line) is shown in the lower left panel of each image, and the T2-peduncle symmetric index is inscribed above it. Measurement of the cross-sectional area of the corticospinal tract at the pons (lower white line) is shown in the lower right panel of each image, and the DTI-CST symmetric index is inscribed above it. NP: not performed.
