Abstract
This DTI study has demonstrated white matter abnormalities in the midbrain-brainstem regions as a distinctive finding of narcolepsy patients with cataplexy. Involvement of bilateral temporal lobes with greater changes on the left lobe is also a supporting finding of patients with cataplexy. DTI changes in the midbrain-brainstem and bilateral temporal lobes can be signs of different pathological mechanisms in these patients.
