CTX is a rare lipid-storage disease. Novel MRS findings from 3 patients, using a short TE, were the presence of lipid peaks at 0.9 and 1.3 ppm in the depth of the cerebellar hemisphere; this might represent an additional marker of disease that is CNS-specific and noninvasive. A decrease in NAA concentration was also detected and attributed to neuroaxonal damage. One patient presented an increase in mIns concentration, pointing to gliosis and astrocytic proliferation.
CTX 是一种罕见的脂质贮积病。3 例患者使用短 TE 获得的新 MRS 发现为小脑半球深部 0.9 和 1.3ppm 处存在脂质峰;这可能代表一种新的疾病标志物,具有中枢神经系统特异性和非侵入性。还检测到 NAA 浓度降低,这归因于神经轴突损伤。一位患者 mIns 浓度增加,提示胶质增生和星形胶质细胞增殖。
