  • Title: Alexander's disease in a neurologically normal child: a case report.
    Author: Guthrie SO, Burton EM, Knowles P, Marshall R.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2003 Jan; 33(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 12497239.
    Abstract:
    We report the clinical and MRI findings of symmetric hyperintensity involving the deep and subcortical white matter of the frontal lobes in a neurologically normal child with macrocephaly. In this patient, a serum test for mutations in glial fibrillary acidic protein, used to diagnose Alexander's disease (AD), was positive. This case indicates an extraordinarily mild or early form of juvenile-onset AD.
