Nearly Completely Reversible Brain Abnormalities in a Patient With Incontinentia Pigmenti
AJNR 29:431-433, Lou,H.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant neurocutaneous syndrome, which primarily affects ectodermal tissues, such as the skin, eyes, teeth, and the central nervous system (CNS). Skin features are diagnostic and typically occur in 4 stages. We report a patient with IP with reversible extensive subcortical white matter involvement as seen on serial MR imaging, proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MR spectroscopy), and diffusion tensor imaging (DIT). Drawing from a literature review, we tried to address the possible etiology of the imaging findings.
