Indian Pediatrics. 2007 Mar; 44(3): 218-20http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/13692Clinical, hematological and cranial neuroimaging findings of eight cases of infantile tremor syndrome are reported. All had coarse tremors, anemia, hyperpigmentation and delayed or regression of developmental milestones. Five patients had microcytic, hypochromic anemia, three had dimorphic anemia. CT scans of two cases and MRI scans of three cases showed cerebral atrophy. One of these two CT scans, in addition, showed a small hypodensity in right basal ganglia region. Two CT scans were normal. One MRI showed hyperintense signals in frontal and periventricular white matter on T2 weighted images. The changes described are non-specific and also seen in cases of malnutrition and viral infections of CNS.engAnemia --diagnosisAtrophyBrain --pathologyChild, PreschoolDevelopmental Disabilities --diagnosisFemaleHumansHyperpigmentation --diagnosisInfantMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleSyndromeTomography, X-Ray ComputedTremor --etiologyJournal Article
