MRI in juvenile ALS: a patient report.
We describe the MR images of a patient with juvenile ALS. MRI of the brain showed bilateral hyperintensities along the corticospinal tracts extending from the corona radiata to the brainstem on T2-weighted images. These findings should be differentiated from the slight hyperintensities seen in the posterior limbs of the internal capsules in normal subjects.
