Characteristic MR imaging changes in severe hypermethioninemic states.

In a recent report in this journal ([1][1]), Tada et al described a patient with markedly elevated plasma methionine (740 μM) and slightly elevated total homocysteine (tHcy) (37 μM) who was diagnosed with possible cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) deficiency. During dietary methionine restriction
