Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Primary and Secondary Hepatic Glycogenosis

Ann Hepatol. 2018 Oct 16;17(6):903-905. doi: 10.5604/01.3001.0012.7189.

Abstract

Glycogen storage disease type I and glycogenic hepatopathy are the most common type of primary and secondary hepatic glycogenosis, with presenting common radiological features of hepatomegaly, hepatic signal, or density change. Beyond that, glycogen storage disease type I shows hepatocellular adenomas or fatty liver, while glycogenic hepatopathy does not.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Glycogen storage disease; Glycogenic hepatopathy; Hepatic glycogenosis; Magnetic resonance imaging.
