Dr. van der Knaap used MRI as well as magnetic-resonance spectroscopy and determined that ongoing cystic degeneration of the cerebral white matter [2] and matter rarefaction [7] was more descriptive of the disease rather than hypomyelination and proposed the name vanishing white matter. [2] The name proposed by Dr. Schiffmann in 1994, childhood ...
While all leukodystrophies are the result of genetic mutations, [3] other demyelinating disorders have an autoimmune, infectious, or metabolic etiology. [4] When damage occurs to white matter, subsequent immune responses can lead to inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS), along with the loss of myelin.

A metabolism disorder or tumors in the nervous system may appear to be CP; metabolic disorders, in particular, can produce brain problems that look like CP on an MRI. [1] Disorders that deteriorate the white matter in the brain and problems that cause spasms and weakness in the legs, may be mistaken for CP if they first appear early in life. [96]
Hypomyelination-congenital cataract syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder that affects the brain's white matter [1] and is characterized by congenital cataract (or cataracts that begin in the first two months of life), psychomotor development delays, and moderate intellectual disabilities. It is a type of ...
This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
