摘要
MRI in a 2-year-old female presenting afebrile seizures and left blepharoptosis revealed multiple well-marginated round-shaped lesions, isointensity to gray matter on T1- and T2-weighted images with homogenously reduced diffusion and diffuse contrast enhancement. MRS revealed elevation of taurine, choline and glutamate, and reduction of N-acetylaspartate. A brain biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG). JXG should be considered when MR spectroscopy shows elevated taurine and glutamate, which has only previously been reported in medulloblastomas. (C) 2016 The Japanese Society of Child Neurology.
