Central Nervous System Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Myotonic Dystrophy

Russell H. Glantz, MD; Robert B. Wright, MD; Michael S. Huckman, MD; David C. Garron, PhD; Irwin M. Siegel, MD

Arch Neurol. 1988;45(1):36-37.


Abstract

• We evaluated findings in 14 patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD) using magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and compared them with those in age-matched controls with headache. There was an increased incidence of ventriculomegaly and a lumpy and/or thick pattern of periventricular hyperintensity in patients with MD as compared with the age-matched controls. These white matter abnormalities do not appear to be etiologically specific, but some possible explanations for these frequent findings in MD are discussed.
