Brain MRI of the first patient at the age of 3.5 months (T2 weighted sequences TR/TE 4000/99). Note the mildly increased signal in the posterior limbs of the internal capsule bilaterally and in the white matter of the occipital lobe.

Brain MRI of second patient at the age of 18 months (T2 weighted sequences TR/TE 4510/119). Note the increased signal in the periventicular white matter around the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles with enlargement of both lateral ventricles and the subarachnoid spaces.
