Lacunar infarcts may cause disturbances of the white matter (WM) structure remote from the primary lesion. Here, we used diffusion MRI and tractography to (1) spatially characterize microstructural abnormalities along WM tracts containing a lacunar infarct and (2) relate abnormalities in remote parts of the affected WM tract to cognitive outcome.
