الملخص EN

Follow-up observation is required for mild-to-moderate hydrocephalic patients because of the potential damage to brain.

However, effects of mild-to-moderate hydrocephalus on gray and white matter remain unclear in vivo.

Using structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), current study compared the cortical thickness and white matter integrity between children with mild-to-moderate communicating hydrocephalus and healthy controls.

The relationships between cortical changes and intelligence quota were also examined in patients.

We found that cortical thickness in the left middle temporal and left rostral middle frontal gyrus was significantly lower in the hydrocephalus group compared with that of controls.

Fractional anisotropy in the right corpus callosum body was significantly lower in the hydrocephalus group compared with that of controls.

In addition, there was no association of cortical thinning or white matter fractional anisotropy with intelligence quota in either group.

Thus, our findings provide clues to that mild-to-moderate hydrocephalus could lead to structural brain deficits especially in the middle temporal and middle frontal gyrus prior to the behavior changes.
