Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly valuable in the diagnosis of childhood brain disorders with abnormal myelination because MRI may identify lesions not always seen with x-ray CT scans. We report the clinical and magnetic resonance findings of six children with leukodystrophy. T₂ weighted (spin-echo) images disclosed striking asymmetric involvement of cerebral white matter, particularly in periventricular white matter and visual radiations. Calculated T₁ values were significantly elevated in the children with leukodystrophy.
