Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2017•ElsevierLate-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is an adult type of classical Pompe disease and presents
without cardiomyopathy. Neuroimaging in LOPD is typically limited to posterior circulation
and involves dilative arteriopathy, especially dolichoectasia and intracranial aneurysms. We
report an interesting case of an established diagnosis of asymptomatic LOPD in a young
man with a restrictive-variant pattern in posterior vasculature. We discuss the clinical
presentation, neuroimaging, existing literature, and prognosis in vascular variants of LOPD.
