Volumetric changes in hypothalamic subunits in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.
Purpose: Studies on hypothalamic changes in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) are very scarce, despite the fact that the relationship with the hypothalamus is frequently reported. The aim of the study was to determine the volume of the hypothalamic subunits and the total hy...

The aim of the study was to determine the volume of the hypothalamic subunits and the total hypothalamus and its relationship with the total demyelinating lesion volume (TLV) and expanded disability status scale (EDSS) in RRMS patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, anterior–superior, superior tubular, posterior hypothalamus, anterior-inferior, inferior tubular subunits of hypothalamus, and total hypothalamus volume were calculated, with fully automatic analysis methods using volumetric T1 images of 65 relapsed RRMS patients and 68 healthy controls (HC). Volume changes in the hypothalamus and its subunits in RRMS patients were examined using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The relationship of these volumes with EDSS and TLV was investigated by partial correlation analysis. Results: There is volume reduction in total hypothalamus (F = 13.87, p < 0.001), anterior–superior (F = 19.2, p < 0.001), superior tubular (F = 10.1, p = 0.002) subunits, and posterior hypothalamus (F = 19.2, p < 0.001) volume in RRMS patients. EDSS correlates negatively with anterior–superior (p = 0.017, r = − 0.333), superior tubular subunits (p = 0.023, r = − 0.439), posterior hypothalamus (p < 0.001, r = − 0.511), and whole hypothalamus volume (p = 0.001, r = − 0.439). TLV correlates negatively with anterior superior (p < 0.001, r = − 0.565), anterior inferior (p = 0.002, r = − 0.431), superior tubular subunits (p = 0.002, r = − 0.432), posterior hypothalamus (p < 0.001, r = − 0.703), and whole hypothalamus (p < 0.001, r = − 0.627) volumes. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a reduction in total hypothalamus volume, anterior–superior, superior tubular, and posterior hypothalamus in patients with RRMS. Anterior–superior and superior tubular subunit, posterior hypothalamus, and total hypothalamus volume were negatively correlated with TLV and EDSS scores. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: diagnostic images research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
