Evolution of striatal degeneration in McLeod syndrome

Background and purpose:  McLeod neuroacanthocytosis syndrome (MLS) is an X‐linked multisystem disorder with CNS manifestations resembling Huntington disease. Neuroimaging studies revealed striatal atrophy with predominance of the caudate nucleus. Our previous cross‐sectional MRI study showed an association of volume loss in the caudate nucleus and putamen with the disease duration.
