Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how white matter tracts are affected in patients with huntingtin gene mutations as a potential indicator of disease progression.
- It involved 34 participants, with methods including brain MRI and diffusion tensor imaging to measure white matter integrity.
- Results showed significant reductions in fractional anisotropy (indicating degeneration) in symptomatic Huntington's patients, but no differences were found between presymptomatic individuals and controls, highlighting the need for more research.
In a simplistic and succinct way, Liliequist membrane may be understood as a projection formed by an arachnoid membrane extending from the dorsum sellae to the mammillary bodies. In spite of being well known to neurosurgeons, many radiologists neither know this anatomical structure nor give importance to its study. The imaging evaluation of this membrane is feasible and may be interesting for a better preoperative planning; postoperative evaluation of third ventriculostomies; and understanding of suprasellar arachnoid cysts and perimesencephalic hemorrhage.
