Abstract

VH and MTS are the neuroimaging hallmarks of JSRD. We aimed to look at the full spectrum of neuroimaging findings in JSRD and reviewed the MR imaging of 75 patients with JSRD, including 13 siblings and 4 patients with OFD VI. All patients had VH and enlargement of the fourth ventricle. The degree of VH and the form of the MTS were variable. In most patients, the cerebellar hemispheres were normal and the PF was enlarged. Brain stem morphology was abnormal in 30% of the patients. Supratentorial findings included hippocampal malrotation, callosal dysgenesis, migration disorders, cephaloceles, and ventriculomegaly. All patients with OFD VI had a similar pattern, including HH in 2 patients. No neuroimaging-genotype correlation could be found. The wide neuroimaging spectrum in our patients supports the heterogeneity of JSRD. Neuroimaging differences in siblings represent intrafamilial heterogeneity. Due to the absence of a correlation with genotype, neuroimaging findings are of limited value in classifying patients with JSRD.

Fig 1 A , Axial T2-weighted MR image shows the classic MTS, including thickened, elongated, parallel, and horizontally orientated SCP ( thick white arrows ) and a deepened IF ( thin white arrow ). B , Midsagittal T2-weighted MR image demonstrates a severe vermian hypoplasia-dysplasia ( thin black arrows ), and distortion and enlargement of the fourth ventricle with rostral shifting of the fastigium ( thick black arrows ), enlargement of the PF, a deepened IF ( white arrow ), and a narrow pontomesencephalic isthmus.

Fig 2 T2-weighted MR image of a 2-day-old patient with OFD VI. A , Midsagittal T2-weighted MR image shows a significant vermian hypoplasia-dysplasia of the vermis ( long black arrow ), an enlarged fourth ventricle ( white asterisk), a PF with marked retrocerebellar CSF collection ( black asterisk ), and an HH ( white arrows ). In addition, the mesencephalon is elongated ( long white arrow ), the size of the pons is reduced ( short black arrow ), the CC is thin, and the interthalamic adhesion is enlarged ( short white arrow ). B , Axial T2-weighted MR image demonstrates hypoplasia of the vermis and both cerebellar hemispheres ( black arrows ), the characteristic MTS with thickened and elongated superior cerebellar peduncles, an abnormally deepened IF, an enlarged PF with marked retrocerebellar CSF collection ( black asterisk ), and an HH ( white arrows ).

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.
