Characterized
by brain stem and spinal cord involvement and elevated lactate level,
leukoencephalopathy (LBSL) is a white matter disease that has been  newly described on the basis of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) signs.  The
clinical signs and symptoms indicate progressive pyramidal, cerebellar, and
dorsal column dysfunction. Its laboratory findings are generally non-revealing.
There are some typical MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) signs. We
present a 11-year-old boy patient with cerebellar, pyramidal and dorsal column
dysfunctions and specific MRI and characteristic MRS findings. MRI and MRS
findings were consistent with LBSL. LBSL is a rare leukoencephalopathy. The
imaging features are very specific, and radiology has a key role to play in
directing the diagnosis and management.

Beyin sapı ve omurilik tutulumu ve yüksek laktat seviyesi ile karakterize
olan lökoensefalopati (LBSL), manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRI) işaretleri
temelinde yeni tanımlanan beyaz cevher hastalığıdır. Klinik bulgular ve
semptomlar ilerleyici piramidal, serebellar ve dorsal kolon işlev bozukluğunu
gösterir. Laboratuvar bulguları genellikle ortaya çıkarılmamaktadır. Bazı tipik
MR ve manyetik rezonans spektroskopisi (MRS) bulguları vardır. Serebellar,
piramidal ve dorsal kolon fonksiyon bozukluğu olan, spesifik MR ve
karakteristik MRS bulguları olan 11 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuyoruz. MR ve
MRS bulguları LBSL ile uyumlu idi. LBSL, nadir bir lökoensefalopatidir.
Görüntüleme özellikleri çok özeldir ve radyolojinin tanı ve tedaviyi
yönlendirmede önemli bir rolü vardır.
