Abstract
Magnetic resonance using a 0.5 T system and a T2-weighted spin-echo pulse sequence revealed symmetric areas of marked hypointensity of the globi pallidi in a case with a family history of and presenting with clinical features consistent with Hallervorden-Spatz disease. No such findings were seen in any of 16 normal volunteers of similar age. Magnetic resonance may be useful for diagnosing Hallervorden-Spatz disease.Entities:
