Abstract
The management of end stage renal failure in cystinotic children is correlated with a longer survival, sometimes complicated with neurological abnormalities. Cranial computed tomography was performed in 10 patients and showed a significant atrophy; the pathogenesis of this damage remains unclear.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
