Neurological development over a period of 25 years and MRI findings are reported in two members of the same family affected by mannosidosis type II. Progressive axial and appendicular cerebellar syndrome, moderate hearing loss and deterioration of gait were present in both patients. Neuropsychological deficiency was severe, but progression over the years was not observed except in the woman's speech capacity. Neither of the patients showed clinical improvement. A progressive corticosubcortical atrophy stands out in the brain neuroimaging studies, especially at the vermian cerebellar level. The osseous cranial deformities are very characteristic and include brachycephaly, thickening of the calvaria at the expense of the diploe, and poor pneumatization of the sphenoid. Neither of our cases showed an empty sella turcica.

D008363 alpha-Mannosidosis An inborn error of metabolism marked by a defect in the lysosomal isoform of ALPHA-MANNOSIDASE activity that results in lysosomal accumulation of mannose-rich intermediate metabolites. Virtually all patients have psychomotor retardation, facial coarsening, and some degree of dysostosis multiplex. It is thought to be an autosomal recessive disorder.
