摘要：

We present three cases of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter and cystic formation in both temporal lobes, diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging. All the cases presented clinical and radiological aspects according to the diagnostic criteria that were established in the initial description of the syndrome. Clinical and radiological aspects are discussed.
