White matter (WM) is suggested to play an important role in pathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this study, we investigated the anatomic brain structures alterations of WM in OCD patients using both volumetric morphometry and multivariate pattern analysis. Decreased WM volume was revealed in bilateral external capsule of OCD patients compared to healthy controls, while discriminative regions were mainly involving the left middle frontal WM and bilateral temporo-patieto-occipital junction. Current study supported the potential translational role of WM for individual level diagnosis in OCD.
