Abstract: Introduction: FLE is known to have a poorer prognosis than TLE. We compared the extent of white matter changes in these groups using diffusion tensor imaging-based tractography. Methods: 20 tracts each were made in five TLE and six FLE patients (bilateral FORX, CGC, PH, UF, SLF, ILF, IFOF, ATR, CST; FMajor and FMinor) and their FA values compared. Results: The TLE group had decreased FA of all ipsilateral fibres except IFOF, with a statistically significant decrease in FORX and UF. The FLE group had a significant decrease (p
