Status marmoratus

Status marmoratus is a congenital condition due to maldevelopment of the corpus striatum associated with choreoathetosis, in which the striate nuclei have a marble-like appearance caused by altered myelination in the putamen, caudate, and thalamus(there is bilateral hyperdensities restricted to thalamus ). This causes lesions resulting from acute total asphyxia in the basal nucleus of full-term infants. Associated with athetoid cerebral palsy.[1][2]
