title: MRI in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.
abstract: A 6-year-old boy with the typical clinical features of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy was examined with magnetic resonance imaging. The findings suggested increased metal deposition in the globus pallidus. Magnetic resonance imaging findings of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome and infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy are similar, suggesting that these two disease entities overlap. Magnetic resonance imaging findings, as well as relevant clinical features, may be useful in the diagnosis and classification of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.
