<br/><br/> Diffusion tensor MR imaging enable evaluation of the integrity of white matter tracts and their orientation and is used to evaluate the patterns of affection of white matter tracts following stroke. We found good association between tractography findings and patients clinical recovery on follow up of acute cases. All the patients with disruption of white matter tracts had residual deficits on clinical follow-up, whereas the patients with displaced and preserved tracts had near complete neurological recovery
