“…[3][4][5] The radiologic findings of HSP are nonspecific, including mild-to-moderate brain atrophy, thinning of the corpus callosum, nonspecific white matter lesions in the cerebral hemispheres, abnormal T2 high signal intensity in the posterior limb of the internal capsules, and atrophy of the spinal cord. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Pathologic studies have shown that the corticospinal tracts, which route through the posterior limb of the internal capsules on their way to the brain stem and spinal cord, are the main tracts involved in HSP. Recently, in brain MR imaging of 2 unrelated patients with autosomal recessive HSP, we found high signal intensities in the posterior limb of the internal capsules bilaterally in the anatomic location of the corticospinal tracts.…”
