Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

This study demonstrates that nerve ultrasound can detect peripheral nerve enlargement in CTX, even in preclinical stages of polyneuropathy. Enlargement of peripheral nerves may be a sensitive marker of disease severity and peripheral nerve involvement. The role of nerve ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in CTX is promising, and future longitudinal studies are needed to determine its value in disease monitoring.
