Abstract
We report MRI and MRS of the brain in a patient with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) in whom fatty alcohol oxidoreductase (FAO) deficiency has been verified. MRI showed periventricular lesions, high intensity on T2-weighted and low intensity on T1-weighted images at trigones of the lateral ventricles. 1H-MRS of these lesions revealed high lipid and low N-acetyl aspartate peaks. We presume such lipids in periventricular lesions with high T2 signal may be pathognomonic of SLS.Entities:
