Megalencephalic Leucoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts (VAN DER Knaap Disease) – A Rare Case Presentation
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Megalencephalic leucoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare disease characterised by macrocephaly and early onset of white matter degeneration. This disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of macrocephaly with early onset leucoencephalopathy. Case report: We report a case of 18 month old boy having diagnosed Megalencephalic Eucoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cyst (Van Der Knaap Disease). He had history of mild motor developmental delay seizures and also had megalencephaly during the first year of life. The diagnosis was made on the basis of characteristic finding in MRI. Conclusion: So MLC should be included in the differentials of macrocephaly with early onset leucoencephalopathy
