Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a rare disease entity with only a few case reports available in radiological literature. Though, the definitive diagnosis of the disease is by histopathological examination, radiological investigations by detecting certain near pathognomonic features play an important role in narrowing down to the diagnosis in patients who present with vague symptoms, signs and thus vast clinical differential diagnoses.
