Caudothalamic groove cysts in Zellweger syndrome.
The cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of Zellweger is the most severe peroxisome biogenesis disorder. Zellweger syndrome is caused by a disturbance in the peroxisomal protein import machinery and leads to multiple organ defects and death usually within the first year of life. Here we report a 3-month-old girl with Zellweger syndrome who was found to have cysts in the caudothalamic groove on cranial magnetic resonance imaging.
