Özet

Background: The central tegmental tract (CTT) is an extrapyramidal tract between the red nucleus and the inferior olivary nucleus which is part of the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (dentato-rubro-olivary system). Symmetric central tegmental tract hyperintensity (CTTH) is a pediatric brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding with an unclear clinical and radiological significance.
