Abstract

Peroxisomal disorders are an important group of neurometabolic diseases. The clinical presentation is varied in terms of age of onset, severity, and different neurological symptoms. The clinical course spans from death in infancy, rapid functional decline, slow decline on long-term followup, to apparent stable course. Leukoencephalopathy and developmental anomalies are characteristic findings on cerebral MR imaging. From a diagnostic point of view the disorders can be clinically subdivided into four broad categories: (1) the Zellweger spectrum disorders and the peroxisomal ß-oxidation disorders, (2) the rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata spectrum disorders, (3) the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy/adrenomyeloneuropathy complex and (4) the remaining disorders. This article discusses the role of MRI findings in the clinical approach of peroxisomal disorders with neurological disease.

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.
