dc.description.abstractEvidence suggests increased prevalence of cluster B personality disorders (PD) among patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), which has been associated with worse seizure control and more psychosocial dysfunctions. A preliminary voxel-based morphometry study demonstrated corpus callosum (CC) volume reduction in patients with JME and cluster B PD, particularly in the posterior midbody and isthmus. in this study we aimed to follow up these results with region of interest analysis. Sixteen JME patients with cluster B PD, 38 JME patients without any psychiatric disorder, and 30 demographically matched healthy controls submitted to a psychiatric evaluation and a magnetic resonance imaging scan. the total and regional callosal areas were obtained from the midsagittal slice using a semi-automated program. Psychiatric evaluation was performed through SCID-I and -II. Significant reductions in the posterior region of the CC were observed in the JME with PD group relative to the other groups. These data support previous findings of callosal reductions in cluster B PD, as well as a possible involvement of CC in patients with JME and such personality characteristics. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
