title: Brain atrophy in Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
abstract: CT scan imaging of the brain was done in eight children with Werdnig-Hoffmann Disease. Seven of them showed generalized cerebral cortical atrophy and one had low attenuated, non-enhancing areas in the white matter involving both frontal lobes. These changes could be due to repeated episodes of hypoxic injury.
