“…Acute transient encephalopathy syndromes associated with brain MRI changes have been described in CMT1X patients with the T55I, R75W, E102del, R142W, R164W and C168Y mutations (Panas et al, 2001;Paulson et al, 2002;Schelhaas et al, 2002;Hanemann et al, 2003;Taylor et al, 2003). In most patients encephalopathy developed under conditions of metabolic stress caused by travel to high altitudes (Paulson et al, 2002), febrile illness (Schelhaas et al, 2002;Hanemann et al, 2003), hyperventilation (Srinivasan et al, 2008), or concussion (Halbrich et al, 2008).…”
