Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 23 Patients with Mucopolysaccharidoses and the Effect of Bone Marrow Transplantation Ann Neurol 50:79-92, Seto,T.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In two of five patients, the therapeutic effect of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was remarkable. Both the cribriform changes and the intensity change of the white matter in a MPS VI patient disappeared eight years after the BMT. Slight improvement of cribriform change was noted in one patients with MPS II three years after the BMT. MRS was not sufficient to estimate the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans but was useful for evaluating neuronal damages.
