RESULTS: The mean ADC and orthogonal eigenvalue ⬜ in affected nerves increased, and the mean FA was reduced compared with clinically unaffected contralateral nerves ( P ⬍ .001)
Fibers of this type typically identified on DTI color maps include cingulum, su- perior and inferior occipitofrontal fasciculi, uncinate fasciculus, superior longitudinal
