Abstract

We describe the typical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics in a rare case of adult leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts (LCC). In addition, we describe the specific findings of quantified susceptibility mapping (QSM) in this case, relate it to known histopathological findings, and point out possible advantages of this method.
