MRI and CT findings in Krabbe disease
M Sasaki, N Sakuragawa, S Takashima, S Hanaoka… - Pediatric …, 1991 - Elsevier
The progression and characteristics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed
tomographic (CT) findings in 3 patients with infantile Krabbe disease (ie, globoid cell
leukodystrophy or galactocerebroside β-galactosidase deficiency) are reported. We
obtained initial CT and MRI studies when patients demonstrated hyperirritability and
hypertonicity. The following results facilitated early diagnoses: increased density in the
thalami, corona radiata, and cerebellar cortex on CT and plaque-like, high signal intensity in …
