Abstract

Proton MR spectroscopic findings in two patients with genetically defined Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease revealed ratios of N-acetylaspartate/creatine and choline-containing compounds/creatine that were not significantly different from those found in a population of healthy subjects. These findings suggest that proton MR spectroscopy can aid in the diagnosis of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
