VWM is one of the most prevalent inherited childhood white matter disorder...
متن کاملAdult-onset vanishing white matter disease as differential diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis: a case report.
We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with a slowly progressive cerebellar syndrome. In contrast to a relatively mild clinical presentation, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed extensive leukencephalopathy with cystic degeneration. Initially primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) was suspected. Additional diffusion-weighted imaging revealed restricted diffusion in the white m...

متن کاملAdult-onset vanishing white matter disease with novel missense mutations in a subunit of translational regulator, EIF2B4.
To the Editor: Vanishing white matter disease (VWM) is one of the most prevalent inherited leucoencephalopathies with autosomal recessive inheritance. The clinical features of VWM are episodes of rapid neurological deterioration provoked by stresses, such as fever and minor head trauma, during a chronic progressive course (1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings that exhibit leukoencephal...
