See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis(CTX)presenting with dementia,spastic tetraparesis and an unreported akinetic-rigid syndrome.Computed tomography(CT)showed only cerebellar abnormalities while magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)detected additional pallidal and mesencephalic focal alterations.MRI findings,but not CT,correlated with the clinical picture.
