Cerebral ventriculomegaly in myotonic dystrophy type 1: normal pressure hydrocephalus-like appearances on magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Background Cerebral ventriculomegaly is an abnormal feature characteristic of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). This retrospective study investigated the morphologic changes accompanied by ventriculomegaly in DM1 on brain MRI. Methods One hundred and twelve adult patients with DM1 and 50 sex...
