Eye of the Tiger: Looking Beyond Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation Disorders.

ABSTRACT: The "eye-of-the-tiger" sign in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically associated with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation disorders, especially pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. However, very similar neuroimaging findings may be seen in other neurodegenerative disorders involving the basal ganglia. We report here a patient with fucosidosis who had MRI brain findings closely resembling the "eye-of-the-tiger" sign.
