Abnormal thalamic volume in treatment-na&#239;ve boys with Tourette syndrome. &#60;br /&#62;Acta Psychiatr Scand 2005: 1&#8211;4. &#169; 2005 Blackwell Munksgaard. Objective:&#8194; <P></P>Thalamic abnormality has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Tourette's syndrome (TS). We examined the presence of aberrant thalamic volume from the treatment-na&#239;ve boys with TS using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Method:&#8194; <P></P>Volumetric MRI was performed on 18 treatment-na&#239;ve boys with TS, aged 7&#8211;14&#8201;years, and 16 healthy comparison subjects. The anatomical boundaries were then manually parcellated to measure the thalamic volume. Results:&#8194; <P></P>Tourette's syndrome subjects had a significantly larger left thalamus in comparison with those of healthy subjects. On the contrary, no group difference was observed from the right thalamic volume. TS subjects also showed a significant reduction in rightward asymmetry in thalamic volume compared with the healthy subjects. Conclusion:&#8194; <P></P>Our findings provide new evidence of abnormal thalamic volume in pediatric TS.",
