J Child Neurol
February 2022
Aim: To evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging of the auditory pathway in patients with Crigler Najjar syndrome type I and its relation to auditory brainstem response.
Methods: Prospective study was done including 12 patients with Crigler Najjar syndrome type I and 10 age- and sex-matched controls that underwent diffusion tensor imaging of brain. Mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy at 4 regions of the brain and brainstem on each side were measured and correlated with the results of auditory brainstem response for patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging of microstructural changes in gray and white matter in Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I.
Patient And Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 10 patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I and 10 age- and sex-matched children who underwent diffusion tensor imaging of the brain. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of gray and white matter were measured.
