Overview

MRI can play an important role in diagnosis of the brain and cardiac complications of Fabry's disease.

MRI

Brain MRI

• Ischemic white matter lesion (Focal, Multi-Focal, Confluent).
• Symmetric Increased signal lesions in Posterior thalamus, and Pulvinar (T1).
• Dystrophic classification in gray-white junction, basal ganglia, cerebellum.

Cardiac MRI

• Presentation and pattern of LVH
• Analysis of the left ventricular mass
• Analysis of the papillary muscle mass and anatomy
• Typical late gadolinium enhancement pattern: Delayed enhancement in mid myocardial of basal to mid inferolateral wall (Most common).

Kidney MRI

• Renal cyst
• Decreased corticomedullary differentiation
