Metachromatic Leukodystrophy:Diffusion MR Imaging Findings
AJNR 23:1424-1426, Sener,R.N., 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
A gradient-echo diffusion sequence, reverse fast imaging in steady-state precession, revealed hyperintense changes at the corresponding regions. It is likely that the cytotoxic edematous pattern (restricted diffusion pattern) reflected restri ction of mobility of the water molecules within abnormal portions of the myelin sheath, because impaired myelin breakdown and reutilization are known features of metachromatic leukodystrophy.
