I have a 13 month old white female patient with clinical diagnosis of a storage disease - most likely Hurler, but the confirmatory labs are pending. Head MRI done for investigation of an anterior fontanelle bruit has revealed a mass lesion in the right hypothalamus/putamen and apparent empty sella.

Question: Does anyone know of any association between storage disorders particularly MPS) and brain lesions/tumors? Thanks!
