Krabbe's disease (KD) and metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD) are both lysosomal storage disorders that share some common MRI features. Amongst the imaging findings useful to distinguish one from the other, optic chiasm/nerves thickening have been described as specific key features for differential diagnosis favouring KD. We report the first case of enlargement of the optic nerves and chiasm described in a patient with genetically confirmed MLD.
克拉伯病(KD)和异染性脑白质营养不良(MLD)均为溶酶体贮积症,具有一些共同的MRI特征。在有助于两者鉴别的影像学表现中,视交叉/神经增粗被描述为支持KD的鉴别诊断的特异性关键特征。我们报告了首例经基因确诊的MLD患者出现视神经和视交叉增大的病例。
