Core Tip
Core Tip: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a metabolic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. A total of 520 CTX case reports published in the literature worldwide are reviewed to promote a better understanding of the clinical and genetic characteristics of CTX. Cataract is the most common symptom with a frequency of 80.37%, and xanthoma is the second most common systemic symptom of CTX. In all, 56.57% of patients showed electroencephalogram abnormalities including diffuse slowing, and 76.72% had abnormal magnetic resonance images. Bilateral hyperintensity of the dentate nuclei and surrounding white matter on T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences is considered a representative radiological feature of CTX.
