Article Abstract
Two women with a presumptive diagnosis of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome had a combination of dystonia and parkinsonism.One had retinitis pigmentosa. Neuropsychological testing revealed decreased verbal fluency and visuoconstructional and motor deficits.Magnetic resonance imaging performed with a high-field-strength unit(1.5 Tesla)showed striking abnormalities in the globus pallidus bilaterally("eye-of-the-tiger"sign). Magnetic resonance imaging may prove useful in the diagnosis of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome.
