Abstract:
Thalamic atrophy is rarely primitive. Selective atrophy of the dorso-medial and anterior thalamic nuclei has been reported in a few families. The clinical course is subacute. Symptoms and signs include sleep disorders and intellectual deficit. We report a new family with this uncommon disease and discuss its etiology.
