Abstrakt: Infantile vanishing white matter disease is an uncommon cause of developmental delay and seizures in children. Presented here is a case of vanishing white matter disease diagnosed at 6 months of age. Imaging findings demonstrated widespread white matter abnormalities throughout the supratentorial and infratentorial brain. The diagnosis of infantile vanishing white matter disease was confirmed via molecular analysis which revealed a rare mutation in the gene responsible for this disorder.
