Abstract

We report a case of Menkes disease in which brain MR imaging and MR angiography (MRA) were performed. In addition to minimal brain atrophy, severe intracranial and extracranial vascular tortuosity was demonstrated on head and neck MRA. Additional neck MRA was useful in evaluating the extent of the extracranial vascular abnormality in Menkes disease.
