  • Title: Developmental changes of radiological findings in Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy.
    Author: Kato Z, Morimoto M, Orii KE, Kato T, Kondo N.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2010 Dec; 40 Suppl 1():S127-9. PubMed ID: 20571791.
    Abstract:
    Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) is characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy and associated with neuropathological anomalies. However, the issue of whether the radiological findings of white-matter lesions represent delayed myelination, demyelination or other problems remains controversial. We present serial radiological findings, including MR spectroscopy (MRS), in a child with FCMD. These findings indicate a correlation between the imaging abnormalities and the choline/creatine ratio, suggesting the possible usefulness of MRS in addition to MRI for following FCMD patients.
