Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis: A Clinical Series Illustrating the Radiological Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that occurs due to defective bile acid biosynthesis, causing unusual cholesterol and cholestanol deposition in multiple soft tissues. It manifested by various neurological non-neurological symptoms. The characteristic imaging features clinical symptoms can help make an early diagnosis induce timely treatment prevent sequelae. authors present two adults with differing symptoms, whose provided pivotal cues diagnosing cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

متن کاملCerebrotendinous xanthomatosis
Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX; OMIM #213700) is a rare lipid storage metabolic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by deficiency of mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) which is a key enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis. The enzyme converts cholesterol into bile acids hence deficiency results in abnormal deposition of cholesterol and cholestenol in multip...

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare genetic metabolic disorder of cholesterol and bile acid metabolism that results in systemic and neurologic abnormalities. Typically, the disease begins in infancy with chronic diarrhoea. Cataracts become evident in childhood or adolescence, and xanthomata develop in the second and third decades of life. Significant neurologic impairment also occurs; this...

We describe seven Dutch patients from six families with a slowly progressive, mainly spinal cord syndrome that remained for many years the sole expression of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). MRI demonstrated white matter abnormalities in the lateral and dorsal columns of the spinal cord. Post-mortem examination of one of the patients showed extensive myelin loss in these columns. An array ...
