Overview
Different imaging studies like X-rays, CT scanning, and Echocardiography have been used to detect abnormalities of LEOPARD syndrome.
Imaging Studies
- CT scanning or MRI - Brain atrophy may be revealed
- Skeletal radiography - Detection of skeletal malformation and bone age assessment.
- Echocardiography - Indicated for visualization of structural heart abnormalities, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.[1]
- Electrocardiography - Excludes conduction abnormalities like axis deviation, prolonged PR intervals, and right bundle branch block, ST-segment abnormalities, and T-wave inversion.[1]
- Ultrasonography or Urographic examination - For assessment of the genitourinary system.
- Audiography or Auditory evoked potentials - For detection of sensorineural deafness.
