The main findings on CT were cerebral atrophy and hypodensity of the white matter. There was a great variability in these CT findings, even in siblings. Among the patients there were several in whom CT was normal, so a negative study does not exclude one of these disorders. These findings show that CT features such as cerebral atrophy or hypodensity are helpful in the evaluation of these disorders, though a diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of CT alone. ER -
