This study provides new CMCT data for children with severe primary and secondary dystonia.
Over 50% of children with evidence of periventricular white-matter damage from magnetic resonance imaging had normal CMCT, challenging traditional pathophysiological models.
This is consistent with recent diffusion tensor imaging in children with periventricular white-matter damage, showing disruption of sensory connections rather than corticospinal tract damage. CMCT helps refine our understanding of imaging changes in complex motor disorders of childhood.
