چکیده

Received 28 August 2014; Received in final form 01 October 2014; Accepted 21 October 2014. Figure 1. (A), Axial T1-weighted image shows diffuse cerebral white-matter abnormalities with frontoparietal subcortical cysts (arrows). (B), Axial FLAIR image exhibits subcortical cysts (arrows) in the anterior temporal lobe intermingled with diffuse whitematter hyperintensity. (C) and (D), Axial T2-weighted images with diffuse white-matter abnormalities, the external and extreme capsules are involved and the posterior limb of the internal capsule shows a double-line of abnormal intensity (arrows in D). (E), Coronal T2-weighted image highlights a diffuse brain swelling with white-matter hyperintensity and persistence of the cavum septum pellucidum (arrow). (F), Sagittal T1-weighted image with fat suppression and after endovenous gadolinium contrast, note the cranio-facial disproportion without abnormal enhancement. The corpus callosum is relatively spared.

Molecular prenatal diagnosis of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts in a child from southwest of Iran

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy (MLC) is a rare neurological disorder with an autosomal recessive pattern. Clinical diagnosis was based on macrocephaly, recurrent seizure, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here we report first finding of a novel homozygous single base deletion in the MLC1 gene in an affected Iranian child causing a premature stop codon (p.L150fs.160X).

Teaching neuroimages: Resolution of MRI abnormalities in megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts.

A boy was diagnosed at age 10 months with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) based on progressive macrocephaly and characteristic MRI findings (figure, A–C). Over subsequent years, initial motor delays resolved and neurobehavioral difficulties were mild. On repeat MRI at 6 years (figure, D–F), only small areas of frontal and temporal white matter signal alteration ...

Mutant GlialCAM causes megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, benign familial macrocephaly, and macrocephaly with retardation and autism.

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a leukodystrophy characterized by early-onset macrocephaly and delayed-onset neurological deterioration. Recessive MLC1 mutations are observed in 75% of patients with MLC. Genetic-linkage studies failed to identify another gene. We recently showed that some patients without MLC1 mutations display the classical phenotype; others...

Epilepsy in vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts

Vacuolating megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a disorder characterised by acquired macrocephaly, developmental motor delay of varying degrees, slowly progressive cerebellar and pyramidal signs, and initially preserved intellectual function. More than 60% of the published cases had epileptic seizures. In this study, we analysed the seizures and EEG findings of n...
