| We evaluated motor function in patients with brain tumors using the Manual Muscle Test (MMT) on admission and at discharge. DTI parameters in the corticospinal tract (CST) (cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of internal capsule, and corona radiata) on the DTI were compared between patients with and without preoperative motor paralysis. The rCBF in the CST on the DTI in both groups was also evaluated in the diseased/healthy and diseased/ipsilateral cerebellar hemispheres. We examined the DTI index of CST on DTI and rCBF in the group with improved postoperative paralysis and the group with unchanged and worsened postoperative paralysis. | — |
