We report conventional MR imaging, DTI, and FT of a child with a completely aberrant right CST. Only FT revealed the completely aberrant course of the CST, whereas conventional MR imaging and color-coded FA-maps suggested the absence of the right CST. This case shows the ability of FT to study the abnormal course of white matter tracts.", }
