Abstract

iron autopsy case report computer analysis dementia dystonia female globus pallidus hallervorden spatz disease human nuclear magnetic resonance imaging priority journal school child Basal Ganglia Diseases Brain Child Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We present an 11-year-old girl in whom high field strength MRI performed 2½ years and 6 months before her death showed prominent hypointensity in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra consistent with iron deposition. This finding suggested Hallervorden-Spatz disease, which was confirmed at autopsy. © 1989 American Academy of Neurology.
