Summary

Cree leukoencephalopathy shows distinct imaging patterns on CT and MR, with diffuse white matter abnormalities and sparing of specific brain regions. This helps in diagnosing this rare neurological condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Cree leukoencephalopathy is a rare genetic neurological disorder.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on characteristic neuroimaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of Cree leukoencephalopathy.
  • To aid in the identification and diagnosis of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records and neuroimaging (CT and MR) in 12 infants.
  • Diagnosis confirmed clinically or by autopsy.

Main Results:

  • CT revealed diffuse, symmetric white matter hypoattenuation in cerebral and cerebellar regions.

  • MR imaging showed hyperintensity in white matter, internal capsule, corpus callosum, and globus pallidus on T2-weighted images.
  • Caudate nucleus and putamen were consistently spared in all imaging modalities.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cree leukoencephalopathy presents with characteristic symmetric and diffuse white matter and brainstem involvement.
    • Imaging findings, particularly the sparing of caudate nucleus and putamen, are key diagnostic indicators.
