Diffusion Tensor Tractography Demonstration of Partially Injured Spinal Cord Tracts in a Patient with Posttraumatic Brown Sequard Syndrome

Diffusion tractography is a new imaging technique to display the traumatic region for valuable preoperative information with prognostic significance. We present a case of 54 year male with quadriparesis showing reduced FA values and increased ADC in injured segment with depiction of disrupted tracts on tractography.In the near future, DTI will become a part of routine imaging in trauma patients as experience with this novel method gains acceptance
