DiscussionNeurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) constitute a group of neurodegenerative disorders inherited as autosomal dominant, recessive or X-linked traits in which iron accumulates in the brain, resulting in progressive dystonia, spasticity, parkinsonism, neuropsychiatric abnormalities, and optic atrophy or retinal degeneration. In this case, a homozygous 11 bp deletion, c. 171_181delCGGGGGGCTGT in C19orf12 identified the diagnosis as MPAN. We have not seen it reported in other patients. There is a different mutation (C19orf12 p. Thr11Met) which is frequent among adult Turkish patients with MPAN [3, 7, 8]. The onset of MPAN is typically between 4 and 20 years of age, and the progression is generally slower than PKAN. Brain MRI of our patient demonstrates iron accumulation in bilateral globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and red nucleus that were seen only on the SWI-and T2-weighted images. In the literature, it was described that, on T 2-weighted images MPAN patients have hyperintense streaking of the medial medullary lamina between the globus pallidus interna and externa that could be mistaken for an “eye-of-the-tiger sign”, leading to a wrong radiologic diagnosis of PKAN. Also, in the literature it was said that “hyperintense streaking of the medial medullary lamina” may discriminate MPAN from other NBIA subtypes. Secondly, cortical and cerebellar atrophy may be seen in more advanced disease in MPAN patients. But we did not observe cortical or cerebellar atrophy in our patient [9, 10].
