Brain & Development
|May 1, 1994
Summary
This case study reports on Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, highlighting how advanced magnetic resonance diffusion imaging can reveal insights into congenital hypomyelination and central nervous system (CNS) lesions.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Radiology
- Genetics
Background:
- Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease is a rare, inherited disorder affecting myelin development in the central nervous system (CNS).
- Classical Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease presents with severe motor and cognitive impairments, nystagmus, and often a family history.
