Static encephalopathy of childhood with neurodegeneration in adulthood (SENDA) is a recently established disorder that is a subtype of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). We presented the first case report of SENDA of a 39-year-old female. She had psychomotor retardation from childhood and remained static for two decades. Then, at the age of 30, she developed severe dystonia and parkinsonism. Brain MRI revealed T2-weighted hypointensity signal in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra, and T1-weighted hyperintensity signal in the substantia nigra with a central hypointensity area. These clinical and imaging findings are characteristic of SENDA. Advanced MRI, including H-1-MR spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), demonstrated similar findings of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), which is a major syndrome of SENDA. MRI plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of NBIA, especially SENDA. (c) 2012 The Japanese Society of Child Neurology. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
