Heat stroke in an infant with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: brain magnetic resonance imaging findings.
We describe the magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 4 month old infant with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who developed heat stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed signal alteration with restricted diffusion in the splenium of corpus callosum, cerebral peduncles and cerebellar dentate nuclei.
