  Fig. 1 (A) Brain MR images at 2 weeks after onset shows leukomalactic lesion (red arrow) in the left supplementary motor area and premotor cortex. (B) Results of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) for the corticospinal tract (CST) and the corticoreticulospinal tract (CRT) of the patient. The 2-week DTT shows the integrity of both the CSTs and the right CRT of the patient are preserved. However, the left CRT shows discontinuation (blue arrow) at the brainstem level. By contrast, the 8-week DTT reveals the discontinued left CRT is connected to the left cerebral cortex (dotted circle).
