Overview
This is a rare genetic disorder. The incidence may increase as imaging modalities improve [1].
Incidence in Children
The incidence is estimated to be 0.12 cases per 100,000 children [2].
Incidence in Infants
Others have estimated the rate to be as high as 0.81 per 100,000 infants per calender year.
Male Predominance
There is an excess incidence of the disease in males (56% to 82%). This has been taken as evidence that in some cases there may be x-linked inheritance.
Age
In the initial description of the disease, the median age at diagnosis was 7 with a range from 11 months to 22 years[3].
