ABSTRACT
Internal capsular genu infarcts infrequently cause cognitive impairment and behavioral changes, and little is known about the underlying mechanism. Using diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and the fractional anisotropy (FA) index in the region of interest (ROI) and ipsilesional frontal cortex, we evaluated two patients with internal capsular genu infarction who presented with frontal dysfunction and cognitive impairment. The reported findings help to elucidate the mechanism underlying cognitive deterioration in internal capsular genu infarction.
