Radiol Case Rep. 2020 Sep 15;15(11):2339-2342. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2020.09.005. eCollection 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Our case involved a 1-year-old female with multiple admissions for chest infections. Given her family history and high clinical suspicion, a diagnosis of Griscelli syndrome and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was made. Her work-up included a brain MRI, which revealed diffuse volume loss and corpus callosum hypogenesis associated with a diffuse simplified pattern of the sulci and gyri compatible with lissencephaly. We describe hypogenesis of the corpus callosum and lissencephaly for the first time in this syndrome.

Keywords: Corpus callosum; Griscelli; Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis; Hypogenesis; Lissencephaly.
