Abstract
Injury of the Dentato-Rubro-Thalamic Tract in a Patient with Thalamic Infarct
Highlights
Two target region of interest (ROI) were placed on the junction of the superior cerebellar peduncle between the upper pons and cerebellum on the coronal image and the contralateral red nucleus of the upper midbrain on the axial image [2]
On ten-day diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), the right dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (DRTT), which originates from the right dentate nucleus of the cerebellum, terminated in the infarcted lesion in the left thalamus (Figure 1B)
The DRTT, which originates from the dentate nucleus in the cerebellum and terminates in the contralateral ventrolateral (VL) nucleus of the thalamus, is involved in movement control [2]
Summary
Injury of the Dentato-Rubro-Thalamic Tract in a Patient with Thalamic Infarct A 71-year-old male patient was diagnosed with thalamic infarcts (Figure 1A). He showed ataxia since the onset of the thalamic infarcts.
