Disorders with prominent posterior fossa involvement.
Inherited white matter disorders include a wide range of disorders of various origins with distinct genetic, pathophysiologic, and metabolic backgrounds. Although most of these diseases have nonspecific clinical and radiologic features, some display distinct clinical and/or imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) characteristics that might suggest the causative gene. Recent advances in genetic testing allow assessing gene panels that include several hundred genes; however, an MRI-based diagnostic approach is important to narrow the choice of candidate genes, particularly in countries where these techniques are not available. Indeed, white matter disorders with prominent posterior fossa involvement present specific MRI (and clinical) phenotypes that can directly orient the diagnosis. This chapter describes the main genetic disorders with posterior fossa involvement and discusses diagnostic strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
