[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the microstructural abnormalities of white matter in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) by using the method of tract based spatial statistics (TBSS).Materials and Methods: Whole brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in 28 patients with PSD and 3 control groups, including 18 stroke patients without depression group (PSND), 13 patients with depression group (De) and 11 healthy volunteers (NC). Fractional anisotropy (FA) values were compared between the PSD group and 3 control groups by TBSS.Results: Compared with the 3 control groups, FA values of white matter in the left posterior limb of internal capsule and the splenium of corpus callosum were significantly decreased in the patients with PSD (P<0.05). Inter-group differences with statistical significance were found at the left posterior limb of internal capsule in following: PSD vs NC group (P<0.05); at the splenium of corpus callosum in following: PSD vs NC group (P<0.05), PSD vs De group (P<0.05).Conclusions: As the latest and higher credibility DTI research method, TBSS technology could be used to find the microstructural abnormalities of white matter integrity and disruption of neural connections among regions regulating mood and cognition in patients with early PSD.
