Abstract
The early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases in childhood is of great interest for genetic counseling. The development of cranial computerized tomography (CCT) has led to an improvement in the recognition of progressive neurological disorders. On one hand CCT is of importance in distinguishing the neurodegenerative diseases from perinatally acquired cerebral lesions. On the other hand CCT permits the differentiation from degenerations of cerebral gray and white matter. In this connection repeated controls with CCT are of great significance. 4 characteristic case studies are described.
