Choroid plexus and perivascular space abnormalities in CerTra syndrome: neuroimaging and histological findings

Ceramide transporter syndrome (CerTra syndrome) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in CERT1 gene encoding ceramide transporter (CERT). These variants disrupt ceramide transport and sphingolipid homeostasis, leading to a clinical phenotype that includes developmental delay, movement abnormalities, and structural brain anomalies. Despite growing recognition of this condition, detailed neuroimaging and neuropathological characterization remain limited. Here, we pres
