DARS-Associated Leukoencephalopathy can Mimic a Steroid-Responsive Neuroinflammatory Disorder
Neurol 84:226-230,218, Wolf, N.I.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Focal T2 hyperintense white matter changes on brain MRI in combination with spinal cord signal abnormalities usually suggest acquired inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis, especially in the context of relapsing course and a positive response to steroid treatment. Adolescents with mutations in DARS can present with a comparable clinical picture, broadening the clinical spectrum of hypomyelination with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and leg spasticity.
