Abstract
We describe brain lesions in a patient with a monocarboxylate transporter 8 mutation. Imaging showed a high T2 lesion in the left putamen at age 3 and a right putamen lesion at age 6. Cerebrospinal fluid free thyroxine concentrations were low, with normal 3,3',5-triiodothyronine concentrations.
