Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Cockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by symptoms like microcephaly, failure to thrive, photosensitivity, hearing loss, vision loss, severe tooth decay and bony abnormalities. The brain imaging findings are cardinal features, which helps to arrive at the diagnosis of this rare disorder. Calcifications and brain atrophy were the main imaging features on noncontrast CT scans. Calcifications were typically found in the basal ganglia and less often in the cortex and dentate nuclei. Here in this article, we would like to highlight the NCCT Brain findings of Cockayne syndrome.
