MRI pattern A2: MRI in late-infantile Krabbe disease

At 11.5 months, the central white matter shows abnormalities, whereas the cerebellar white matter appears normal (a). One month and 1.5 months later, the parieto-occipital white matter is increasingly involved, and the cerebellar white matter is still not affected (b, c). Six months later, frontal, central, and parieto-occipital white matter as well as cerebellum are affected (d). This patient had onset at 9 months.
