ABSTRACT
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder caused by the expansion of cytosine-thymine-guanine (CTG) repeats in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Some literatures indicated that DM1 had incidentalCNS lesions such as white matter lesions and diffuse gray matter atrophy. We report a patient with DM1 whose brain magneticresonance image (MRI) showed multifocal hyperintense lesions and cystic lesion on both frontotemporoparietal lobes
Key words: Myotonic dystrophy, Magnetic resonance image
