Abstract
Two children with Canavan's Disease, an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy, were studied by localized 1H spectroscopy. The N-acetylaspartate (NAA) signal intensity was high relative to other metabolite signals, and the signal intensity from choline-containing compounds was low. These findings are discussed in relation to a possible role for NAA in normal myelination.Entities:
