  • Title: Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome: clinical and magnetic resonance imaging correlations.
    Author: Sethi KD, Adams RJ, Loring DW, el Gammal T.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 1988 Nov; 24(5):692-4. PubMed ID: 3202617.
    Abstract:
    Two women with a presumptive diagnosis of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome had a combination of dystonia and parkinsonism. One had retinitis pigmentosa. Neuropsychological testing revealed decreased verbal fluency and visuoconstructional and motor deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging performed with a high-field-strength unit (1.5 Tesla) showed striking abnormalities in the globus pallidus bilaterally ("eye-of-the-tiger" sign). Magnetic resonance imaging may prove useful in the diagnosis of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome.
