abstract = {Flail arm syndrome is a restricted phenotype of motor
neuron disease that is characterized by progressive,
predominantly proximal weakness and atrophy of the upper
limbs.The study was designed to investigate specific white
matter alterations in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data
from flail arm syndrome patients using a hypothesis-guided
tract-of-interest-based approach to identify in vivo
microstructural changes according to a neuropathologically
defined amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-related
pathology of the cortico-efferent tracts.DTI-based white
matter mapping was performed both by an unbiased voxel-wise
statistical comparison and by a hypothesis-guided tract-wise
analysis of fractional anisotropy (FA) maps according to the
neuropathological ALS-propagation pattern for 43 flail arm
syndrome patients vs 43 'classical' ALS patients vs 40
matched controls.The analysis of white matter integrity
demonstrated regional FA reductions for the flail arm
syndrome group predominantly along the CST. In the
tract-specific analysis according to the proposed sequential
cerebral pathology pattern of ALS, the flail arm syndrome
patients showed significant alterations of the specific
tract systems that were identical to 'classical' ALS if
compared to controls.The DTI study including the
tract-of-interest-based analysis showed a microstructural
involvement pattern in the brains of flail arm syndrome
patients, supporting the hypothesis that flail arm syndrome
is a phenotypical variant of ALS.},
