AB  - This is the first observation of two cases of symmetrical infantile thalamic degeneration with cell mineralisation in a family. Although it cannot be established at present, autosomal recessive inheritance of a metabolic error causing or predisposing to damage to specific areas of the central nervous system is a possible aetiology for this condition.
