متن کاملMerosin-positive congenital muscular dystrophy: neuroimaging findings.
Congenital muscle dystrophy (CMD) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive myopathies. It is known that CMD may affect the central nervous system (CNS). Some authors have shown that merosin-negative CMD patients may have encephalic metabolic disturbances. In order to study metabolic changes within the brain, the authors performed a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) study in a 1-year-...

Six months after the onset of a Zika virus outbreak, there was an unusual 20-fold increase in microcephaly cases in newborns in Brazil. Ventura et al. were the first to report ocular involvement in CZS in the form of ...
