Abstract
GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare disease due to mutations in the GLB1 gene and autosomal recessive deficiency of β-galactosidase. There is considerable overlap between classical phenotypes and clinical and imaging findings, which are often difficult to interpret. The patient in this study had dysmorphism, dysostosis, progressive dystonia, and T2 hypointensity in the basal ganglia. Partially similar clinical and radiologic findings were described previously in two reports. T2 hypointensity in the globus pallidus should, in the appropriate clinical setting, lead to consideration of the diagnosis of GM1 gangliosidosis.
