Objectives: To assess the presence of perfusion abnormalities in the deep gray matter of patients with relapsing-remitting and primary progressive multiple sclerosis ( MS) in comparison with healthy controls and to investigate the impact of perfusion impairment on clinical disability and fatigue.Design: Survey.Setting: Research-oriented hospital.Patients: Twenty-two patients with MS and 11 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers.Intervention: Absolute cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time were measured in the thalamus, putamen, and caudate nuclei.Main Outcome Measures: Decrease of cerebral blood flow in the deep gray matter of patients with MS and correlation between perfusion impairment and the severity of fatigue.Results: The cerebral blood flow value averaged over the thalamus, putamen, and caudate nuclei was significantly lower in patients with primary progressive MS (P
