PurposeTo investigate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based total and segmental hippocampus volume analysis in the assessment of cognitive status in Parkinson's disease (PD).MethodsWe divided participants into three groups Group A-Parkinson patients (Pp) with normal cognitive status (n = 25), Group B-Pp with dementia (n = 17), and Group C-healthy controls (n = 37). Three-dimensional T1W Fast Spoiled Gradient Recalled Echo images were used for Volbrain hippocampus subfield segmentation. We used the "Winterburn" protocol, which divides the hippocampus into five segments, Cornu Ammonis (CA),CA2/CA3, CA4/dentate gyrus, stratum radiatum, lacunosum, and moleculare, and subiculum.ResultsA total of 79 participants were included in the study, consisting of 42 individuals with PD (64.2% male) and 37 healthy controls (54.1% male). The mean age of PD was 60.9 ± 10.7 years and the mean age of control group was 59.27 ± 12.3 years. Significant differences were found in total hippocampal volumes between Group A and B (p = .047. Statistically significant group differences were found in total, right, and left CA1 volumes (analysis of variance [ANOVA]: F(2,76) = 8.098, p = .001; F(2,76) = 7.628, p = .001; F(2,76) = 5.084, p = .008, respectively), as well as in total subiculum volumes (ANOVA: F(2,76) = 4.368, p = .016). Post hoc tests showed that total subiculum volume was significantly lower in individuals with normal cognitive status (0.474 ± 0.116 cm3) compared to healthy controls (0.578 ± 0.151 cm3, p = .013).ConclusionVolumetric hippocampal MRI can be used to assess the cognitive status of Pp. Longitudinal studies that evaluate Pp who progress from normal cognition to dementia are required to establish a causal relationship.
