A unique disorder is described in seven members of two families in whom dystonia was variably associated with subacute visual loss or asymptomatic optic atrophy, and striking bilateral symmetrical lucencies on CT scan, especially involving the putamen. It is possible that this is a variant of Leigh's disease. However, there were considerable differences between these patients and those with pathologically proven Leigh's disease. This condition must be excluded in all patients thought to have idiopathic dystonia, subacute visual failure similar to Leber's optic neuropathy, or a combination of these disorders.
在两个家族的七名成员中描述了一种独特的病症,其中肌张力障碍与亚急性视力丧失或无症状性视神经萎缩以及CT扫描上显著的双侧对称性透亮区(尤其是累及壳核)存在不同程度的关联。有可能这是 Leigh 病的一种变体。然而,这些患者与经病理证实的 Leigh 病患者之间存在相当大的差异。在所有被认为患有特发性肌张力障碍、类似于 Leber 视神经病变的亚急性视力衰竭或这些病症组合的患者中,都必须排除这种情况。
