Neuroimaging findings of linear scleroderma of the head and face: a case report

Linear scleroderma of the head and face is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by linear depressed scarring in the frontoparietal area of the face. Here, we report a patient with linear scleroderma of the head and face with neurological symptoms such as spontaneous epilepsy and numbness...

description Linear scleroderma of the head and face is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by linear depressed scarring in the frontoparietal area of the face. Here, we report a patient with linear scleroderma of the head and face with neurological symptoms such as spontaneous epilepsy and numbness of the right limb as well as the presence of white matter lesions. The patient underwent computed tomography and 3.0-T magnetic resonance examinations including diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and perfusion imaging. The imaging findings suggested a disrupted fiber tract and decreased relative cerebral blood flow. Our observation may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of linear scleroderma of the head and face.
