Abstract:
:Diabetes is often associated with impairments in brain functioning. However, the injury of specific functioning areas of the brain is not clear. To address this problem, the present study was designed to investigate possible brain functioning change in specific brain areas, particularly in areas associated with vision function, in patients with proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR and NPDR) using the diffusion-weighted imaging technology. Conventional MRI was performed in 45 diabetic patients, 30 of whom had diabetic retinopathy (DR) involvement (half PDR, and half NPDR) and 15 of whom were diabetic patients without retinopathy and with normal ophthalmologic examination. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were calculated in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), cingulated gyrus, thalamus, dorsomedial and dorsolateral frontal cortex, and corona radiate. The ADC values of the OFC, cingulated gyrus, and visual cortex were significantly increased in patients with PDR and NPDR compared with both patients without retinopathy and the control group (P<0.01). The ADC values of the OFC, cingulated gyrus, and visual cortex were significantly increased in patients with PDR compared with NPDR. The duration of disease and values of hemoglobin A1c were significantly correlated with ADC values of the OFC, cingulated gyrus, and visual cortex, respectively (P<0.01 or <0.05). We observed significantly increased ADC values of the visual center (OFC, cingulated gyrus, and visual cortex), supporting the association between DR and impairment in brain functioning. Diffusion-weighted imaging may serve to assess subclinical neurological involvement in DR, even when brain structural changes are absent.
