Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We retrospectively evaluated the imaging spectrum of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) in correlation with the clinical course and genetic abnormality. METHODS: We collected the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 19 genetically proven PMD patients (all males, aged 0-29years old) using our integrated web-based MRI data collection system from 14 hospitals. The patterns of hypomyelination were...
