[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the MRI findings of adult-onset sporadic neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID).Materials and Methods: The clinical symptoms, MRI findings and dermatopathological features of adult-onset sporadic NIID were analyzed.Results: Three patients with clinical manifestations such as cognitive dysfunction, extrapyramidal symptoms, cerebellar ataxia, etc. Head MRI showed abnormal white matter signal in bilateral cerebral hemispheres. DWI showed high signals at the cerebral cortico-medullary junction, which persisted and progressive increase. Skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in adipocytes, fibroblasts, and sweat gland cells which were diagnosed as NIID.Conclusions: NIID is a chronically progressive neurodegenerative disease. MRI-DWI of the head shows high signals at the cerebral cortico-medullary junction, and dermatopathological findings of eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies contribute to the diagnosis.
