Pre-OP brain CT images (A) and MR images (B) show dilatation of the ventricular system and reduced dilatation of the ventricular system after shunt operation (pink arrows) Results of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) for the corticoreticular pathway (CRP) (C). On the pre-OP DTT, discontinuations (the right CRP: at subcortical white matter level-green arrow, and the left CRP: at the midbrain level-blue arrow) of the CRP fibers from the premotor cortex were observed in both hemispheres. On the post-OP DTT, the CRP fibers were elongated to the respective premotor cortex in both hemispheres (arrows).

Four weeks after the drainage, she was transferred to the rehabilitation department of the same hospital and hydrocephalus was detected on the brain CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; Fig. 1A,B). On the post-op DTT, the discontinued CRP fibers were elongated to the premotor cortex in both hemispheres (Fig. 1C).
