MRA detection of vascular occlusion in a child with progeria.
We report a case of progeria and the utility of visualizing the cerebrovascular anatomy by using MR angiography. A 4-year-old child with Hutchinson-Guilford syndrome developed symptoms of ischemia and MR angiography showed bilateral occlusion of internal carotid and vertebral artery origins; the anterior spinal artery was prominent.
