It typically appears before age 6, with late-onset forms also possible. Symptoms include progressive loss of walking, dystonia, rigidity, dysarthria, spasticity, and psychiatric issues. Diagnosis relies on clinical signs and MRI showing the “eye of the tiger” appearance (globus pallidus hypointensity with central hyperintensity on T2WI). In our case, reverse changes are seen (A, B, and C, arrows). There is no specific treatment.
