AbstractA 2 years 3 months male toddler with motor delay and his female sibling with history of marked global developmental regression following an intercurrent febrile illness were both noted to have phospholipase A2G6 (PLA2G6) mutation, confirming the diagnosis of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD). This case report attempts to familiarize readers with the pleomorphic presentation of INAD and the role of early clinical identification, examination, and prompt genetic testing in establishing a diagnosis.

Case report of a 7 1/2-years old girl considered as being normal until the age of 2 years. From then on she progressed with gait disturbance, mental deterioration, dystonic movements, convulsions and dysarthria. She died of bronchopneumonia one year later. CT scan showed hyperdensity at the putamina, with no signs of cerebral atrophy. Pathological examination disclosed an intense red coloration of the putamina and axonal «spheroids» at electron microscopy.

AbstractInfantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is associated with developmental delay and regression. A female patient of consanguineous parents presented with gross motor delay at 15 months. She was known to have two paternal uncles who had died with a diagnosis of INAD. Over the next 15 months, she exhibited regression in several domains and following genetic testing was diagnosed with a PLA2G6 mutation in keeping with INAD. The cerebellar vermis demonstrated a significant reduction in the N-acetylaspartate/creatinine (NAA/Cr) ratio of 0.69. This case highlights what we believe to be a new imaging feature of a low NAA/Cr ratio in the cerebellar vermis with normal ratios in the cerebellar hemispheres and basal ganglia in a patient with genetically confirmed diagnosis of INAD.
