Location of the STN. The normal STN is not seen on T2-weighted images at 1.5T because of its small size and signal-intensity characteristics close to the surrounding white matter structures. This coronal T2-weighted image from a child with dyskinetic CP arising from hypoxic-ischemic injury shows the STNs (arrows) as regions of high signal intensity because of gliosis within the nuclei.
