ResultsT2 MRI images for both the control subject and patient showed two target muscles, GG and IL, and the residual scar from the patient’s surgery, as expected. In the control subject, the tongue septum was at midline and divided the GG symmetrically into right and left halves. The IL muscles were lateral to each GG muscle. In the patient, on the other hand, the septum and both GGs were deviated to the right and had lost the fan-shaped characteristics seen in normal tongues. Instead, there was a dark asymmetrical pattern in the tongue body that coincided with the area of excised tissue and surgical primary closure.The DTI tractography showed major changes in the IL, but little change in GG. Most of the IL bundles in the control were horizontal and oriented anterior-posterior (green), were symmetrical, and presented similar thickness (Fig 1). The patient’s IL showed more striking changes. The right IL was thinner and shorter. Its interruption coincided with scar tissue in the T2 image. Although most of the left IL bundles were anteriorposterior (green), there were several bundles with right-left orientation (pink-red). The thickest red bundle (white arrow, Fig 2) depicted a direction change of some anterior-posterior
