Childhood ataxia with diffuse central nervous system hypomyelination
Abstract
A significant number of patients with progressive leukodystrophy do not have a definitive diagnosis. This report describes the clinical, morphological, and biochemical characteristics of 4 unrelated girls with progressive ataxic diplegia of unknown etiology. These patients had normal development until the ages of 1.5 to 5 years. A diffuse confluent abnormality of the white matter of the central nervous system was present on computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans obtained early in the course of the illness. Dementia was not present and peripheral nerves were normal. All patients were evaluated for known metabolic and degenerative diseases and no abnormalities were observed. Light and electron microscopy of open‐brain biopsy specimens from 2 girls showed selective white matter abnormalities including hypomyelination, demyelination, and gliosis. Myelin‐specific proteins in the subcortical white matter were examined immunocytochemically and by Western blot analysis. The were of normal molecular size but were markedly reduced in quantity in both patients compared to control subjects. Lipid analysis revealed decreased levels of characteristic myelin lipids. When examined by magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, all patients showed a marked decrease of N‐acetylaspartic acid, choline, and creatine in white matter only. The magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging profile is a unique diagnostic feature of this clinicopathological syndrome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
