On all sequences there was thinning of the cerebral and cerebellar cortices with widening of the corresponding sulci, demonstrating diffuse cortical atrophy. The corpus callosum was markedly thin and only partially visualised with absence of a visible rostrum, genu and body. Moderate, generalised symmetrical dilation of the ventricular system was present, with complete suppression of contents on FLAIR, indicating that the cerebrospinal fluid was not markedly abnormal. Mild, generalised, symmetrical and homogeneous increased T2W signal intensity of the cerebral white matter was visible, with consequent decrease in the distinction between the white and grey matter ( Figure 1 ). The pachymeninges were mildly and diffusely thickened.
