Abstract:
Encephalopathy secondary to hereditary metabolic diseases leads to high mortality due to the difficulties in early diagnosis and timely treatment.Survivors are often left with severe sequelaes of the nervous system. A considerable number of hereditary metabolic diseases are not thoroughly understood, but pre-clinical or early-clinical diagnosis and treatment can be attempted with MRI which can generally optimize the outcome.
