Résumé
Alexander disease (AxD) is a neurodegenerative disease in astrocytes caused by a mutation in the gene encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP. We herein present the case of a 12-year-old girl who showed intermittent exotropia at 3 years of age and central precocious puberty at 7 years of age. The periventricular and medulla oblongata showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was diagnosed with AxD after direct sequencing revealing a de novo recurrent mutation, c.1246C>T (p.R416W) in GFAP. The transient expression of GFAP
