MRI and SWI Findings in Three Pediatric Cases of Juvenile Huntington Disease

MRI in three children with juvenile Huntington disease revealed severe bilateral caudate and lentiform atrophy with T2/FLAIR hyperintensity; SWI showed globus pallidus mineral deposition in two, and one had mild thoracic spinal cord thinning. Findings highlight consistent basal…

• All three patients exhibited severe bilateral caudate and lentiform nuclei atrophy with T2/FLAIR hyperintensities and T1 hypointensities.
• Susceptibility-weighted imaging demonstrated focal mineral deposition in the globus pallidus in two patients.
• One patient had mild thoracic spinal cord thinning, potentially indicating spinal involvement.
