1 Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the brain of a 5-year-old Japanese boy with SLS. Left panel is T2-weighted MRI showing periventricular white matter disease. Right panel is proton magnetic resonance spectrum image of the region of the frontal lobe indicated by a rectangle in the left panel. The filled arrows point to an abnormal peak at 1.3 ppm corresponding to an unidentified lipid. The open arrow identifies a second unidentified lipid at 0.9 ppm. Cho = choline, PCr = phosphocreatine, Cr = creatine, NAA = N-acetyl aspartate.
