The metabolic changes in the deep gray matter (GM) nuclei, thalamus, and basal ganglia of patients with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis were investigated with quantitative, multivoxel, three-dimensional proton MR spectroscopy. This technique facilitated the study of several bilateral structures in a single session at sub–cubic centimeter spatial resolution. Compared with 9 matched control subjects, the deep GM nuclei of 11 patients showed 7% lower N-acetylaspartate and 14% higher choline levels (p = 0.02 for both).

Received December 9, 2003. Accepted in final form February 23, 2004.
