In the patients and controls, eight distinct neuroanatomical locations were selected for analysis. Quantitative measurements of ADC values of the frontal white matter (FWM), occipital white matter, lentiform nucleus (LN), thalamus, frontal cortex, anterior and posterior limbs of the internal capsule and caudate nucleus were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS\u00ae (IBM Corp., New York, NY; formerly SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) for Windows v. 20. Data were presented as mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009standard deviation values. The Kruskal\u2013Wallis test was used to assess differences in the ADC values of each brain location between the ES group and the control group. Statistical significance was accepted at the level of p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The ADC values of the FWM and LN were significantly higher in the ES group than that in the control group.
