Diffusion tensor imaging allows a 3D analysis of water molecular motion and an exploration of white matter tracts integrity and orientation. We report a diffusion tensor study of wallerian degeneration of the corticospinal tract following a capsulo-lenticular hemorrhage in a 49-year old man. Reduced anisotropy (loss of fiber coherence) with preserved diffusivity of the damaged corticospinal tract was observed. This highlights the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging on clinical MR units and its ability to quantify the degree of white matter tract destruction.
