Brain CT images of a patient with Menkes disease at 2, 8, and 11 months of age. The image was taken at the age of 2 months because of a head injury. This was prior to diagnosis of MD as no neurological symptoms were observed at that time. The patient was diagnosed with MD at the age of 8 months, with brain atrophy progressing despite copper-histidine treatment. Subdural hemorrhage was observed in the patient at 11 months of age.
