Changes in the subcortical white matter and basal ganglia and the lateral ventricular wall in L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (MRI) (1)

T2-weighted MR images in the index case of a Chinese family with L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria revealed symmetrical, high-signal changes in the subcortical white matter and basal ganglia, and the lateral ventricular wall showed multiple nodular, gray-matter heterotopia.
