UNASSIGNED: Objective: Several studies have reported on injury of the corticoreticular pathway in @entity1 with @entity64 and @entity131 . However, little is known about injury of the corticoreticular pathway in @entity1 with @entity510 . The aim of the current study was to investigate corticoreticular pathway injury in @entity1 with @entity510 . Design: Comparative study. Subjects: Among 137 @entity1 with @entity510 , 17 @entity1 with @entity425 who showed intact integrity of the corticospinal tract were recruited. Methods: Motricity Index was used for measurement of motor function. The fractional anisotropy value, apparent diffusion coefficient value, fibre volume, and integrity of the corticoreticular pathway were used for the diffusion tensor imaging parameters. Results: Twelve (70.6%) of 17 @entity1 and 18 (52.9%) of 34 hemispheres showed a discontinuation of the corticoreticular pathway at the midbrain level. The contralateral shoulder, hip, and lower extremity of the discontinued corticoreticular pathway showed lower motor functions, in comparison with those of the contralateral side of the intact corticoreticular pathway (p   <   0.05). By contrast, the Motricity Index for distal joint, upper and total Motricity Index were not different irrespective of the state of the corticoreticular pathway (p   >   0.05). Conclusion: Corticoreticular pathway injury is common in @entity1 with @entity425 after @entity510 , and it appears to be related to @entity425 in the contralateral shoulder, hip and lower extremity.
