Magnetic resonance imaging of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare familial sterol storage disease with accumulation of cholestanol and cholesterol particularly in xanthomas, bite and brain. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful modality for imaging the affected tissues.

Coronary heart disease in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis
Coronary heart disease is a prevalent condition and a leading cause of death in developed countries. Most cases are due to the cluster of classical risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure and dyslipidaemia.

The wide spectrum of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: Case report of a rare but treatable disease
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal-recessive disorder of lipid storage caused by mutations in the CYP27A1 gene, coding for a sterol 27-hydroxylase, leading to increased deposition of cholesterol in multiple tissues. CTX is characterized

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: Imaging clues to an underdiagnosed disorder
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder resulting from defective bile acid synthesis, causing soft tissue deposition of cholesterol and cholestanol.
