White matter lesions could lead to neurodegeneration
along the fibers. This study proposes to evaluate white
matter lesions effects on distant regions based on
weekly longitudinal follow-up. This longitudinal
analysis highlighted the ability of DTI to quantify and
monitor underlying pathological mechanisms occurring in
the lesion, and to a lesser extent, in the normal
appearing WM. Significant correlation between lesion and
CC L1, may suggest an axonal degenerative process
occurring along the fiber. Furthermore, fiber tracking
may constitute a new tool to monitor distant effects of
lesions, and therefore better understand the relation
between inflammatory events and neurodegenerative
processes.
