CT scan imaging of the brain was done in eight children with Werdnig‐Hoffmann Disease. Seven of them showed generalized cerebral cortical atrophy and one had low attenuated, non‐enhancing areas in the white matter involving both frontal lobes. These changes could be due to repeated episodes of hypoxic injury.
