We used diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) to assess wallerian degeneration of the pyramidal tract after the onset of supra-tentorial stroke, and correlation of the extent of Wallerian degeneration with the motor function at 3 months after stroke. Twenty eight patients with supra-tentorial acute stroke were examined, two weeks and one month after stroke by DTI. We measured fractional anisotropy(FA) of affected side/unaffected side(FA ratio) in the cerebral peduncle. We used modified Rankin Scale(mRS) for assessment of motor function at 3 months after stroke.

 FA ratio was significantly reduced at 2 weeks after stroke(0.833±0.146) compared to on admission(0.979±0.0797). But no significant change of FA ratio was seen between two weeks and one month after stroke in 7 cases examined(0.758±0.183 vs. 0.754±0.183). In all patients in whom the FA ratio was under 0.8 at 2 weeks after stroke, motor function showed poor recovery(mRS 4 and 5) at 3 months after stroke. When FA ratio was over 0.8 at 2 weeks after stroke, motor function at 3 months after stroke showed good recovery(mRS 0 to 3) expect for three elderly patients.

 With the use of DTI, Wallerian degeneration could be detected in the corticospinal tracts at midbrain level during the early phase of supra-tentorial stroke. We conclude that DTI may be useful for early prediction of motor function prognosis in patients with supra-tentorial acute stroke.
