This report is part of an ongoing longitudinal study of patients with NPC that includes quantitative measurements of metabolite levels at four locations in the brain. We have previously reported correlations of metabolite levels to patient age and disease severity. Analysis of a subset of these patients who had multiple return visits shows that similar trends can be appreciated in individual patients.
