HISTORY
|
|---|
A 21-month-old boy, born without complications after an uncomplicated pregnancy, failed to achieve expected developmental milestones. As an infant, he developed nystagmus and poor muscular head control. Physical examination findings were notable for generalized hypotonia and macrocephaly. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and single-voxel MR spectroscopy were performed.
 |
IMAGING FINDINGS
|
|---|
There was diffuse, bilateral, and symmetric increased T2 signal intensity throughout the cerebral white matter (Figs 13). These findings were noted to a lesser degree in the cerebellar white matter, thalamus, globi pallidi, and dorsal brainstem (Figs 1, 2). The white matter abnormality specifically involved the subcortical white matter. There was no lobar predominance of white matter abnormalities. Hydrocephalus, mass effect, and midline shift were absent. Single-voxel point-resolved spatially localized MR spectroscopy was performed for localization within the right parietal periventricular white matter and revealed a marked increase in both the N-acetylaspartate (NAA) peak and the ratio of NAA to creatinine (Fig 4). The choline peak was not elevated.

Figure 4: Single-voxel MR spectroscopic image of right parietal white matter reveals markedly elevated NAA peak. Spectrum shows ratios of NAA to creatine (Cr) (4.41) and NAA to choline (Cho) (7.54). Cr2 = methylene protons of creatine. The choline and creatinine peaks are within normal limits.

DISCUSSION
|
|---|
Differential diagnostic considerations based on imaging findings include dysmyelinating diseases such as metachromatic leukodystrophy, adrenoleukodystrophy, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD), Alexander disease, and Canavan disease. Metachromatic leukodystrophy causes bilateral symmetric white matter hyperintensity on T2-weighted MR images; however, this disease spares the subcortical white matter. The subcortical white matter was not spared in this patient. Adrenoleukodystrophy leads to bilateral symmetric T2 hyperintensity within the cerebral white matter. As with metachromatic leukodystrophy, the subcortical white matter fibers are classically spared. Additionally, adrenoleukodystrophy tends to progress in an orderly fashion from one portion of the brain to the next with an advancing edge of contrast enhancement.
PMD demonstrates bilateral symmetric white matter T2 hyperintensity with involvement of the subcortical arcuate fibers. However, patients with PMD may also have marked cerebellar atrophy and progressive enlargement of cortical sulci; these findings were not seen in this patient (1). Patients with PMD do not present with macrocephaly, and MR spectroscopy has revealed normal NAA and creatinine levels (2).
Canavan disease demonstrates bilateral symmetric T2 white matter hyperintensity, including involvement of the subcortical arcuate fibers. This disease appears diffusely throughout the cerebral white matter, does not enhance at computed tomography (CT) or MR imaging, and demonstrates variable involvement of the basal ganglia and cerebellar white matter (35). Patients with Alexander disease present with clinical and imaging findings similar to those of patients with Canavan disease; this condition often results in a clinical conundrum. For example, both Canavan disease and Alexander disease demonstrate macrocephaly with bilaterally symmetric increased T2 signal intensity of cerebral white matter and involvement of subcortical arcuate fibers.
Historically, Canavan disease has been differentiated from Alexander disease by means of brain biopsy (6). MR spectroscopy, however, has been shown to be a useful diagnostic tool in making this distinction. There is an accumulation of NAA in patients with Canavan disease because of a deficiency in the myelin synthesis pathway; thus, MR spectroscopy reveals a markedly elevated NAA peak. Alexander disease has not demonstrated elevation of the NAA peak in clinical cases because of the defect in glial fibrillary acidic protein, and it is pathologically characterized by widespread Rosenthal fibers (79). The combination of the T2 signal hyperintensity in the white matter and the markedly elevated NAA level on MR spectroscopic images allowed Canavan disease to be diagnosed in this patient (10). Our imaging findings were clinically confirmed by elevated urine NAA levels and identification of a gene mutation within the aspartoacylase enzyme at polymerase chain reaction assay.
Canavan disease, or spongiform degeneration of cerebral white matter, is an autosomal recessive dysmyelinating disease believed to result from a deficiency of aspartoacylase, which is a key enzyme in the myelin synthesis pathway (11). This deficiency leads to an abnormal accumulation of NAA in the serum and urine. Patients present with spasticity and macrocephaly within the 1st year of life, as did our patient; poor muscular head control and blindness are additional findings (12). Death usually occurs within the first few years of life, although a more protracted course has been reported (13). Canavan disease is characterized pathologically by vacuolization of subcortical white matter tracts throughout the cerebrum and, to a lesser extent, the cerebellum (14). Cortical gray matter injury occurs in a similar fashion but with less ferocity. CT findings include diffuse decreased attenuation of subcortical white matter without contrast enhancement. MR imaging demonstrates diffuse, bilateral, and symmetric increased T2 signal intensity of cerebral subcortical white matter (3). Involvement of the basal ganglia was present to some degree in this patient and has been variably noted in the literature (35). Several investigators have shown the markedly elevated NAA peak on MR spectroscopic images in patients with Canavan disease (11,15). There is also an increase in the NAA-to-choline ratio and the NAA-to-creatinine ratio; these findings are considered indicative of Canavan disease given the associated white matter abnormalities.
