vanishing white matter disease
- vanishing white matter disease
- an autosomal recessive type of leukodystrophy, seen most often in young children, characterized by hypomyelination of variable severity; it usually develops slowly, although there may be rapid deterioration after an infection or head trauma. Affected children have spasticity and stiffness of the limbs; in severe cases there may be lethargy, optic atrophy, coma, and eventually death. Called also childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination.
