Abstract
Canavan Hastalığı Yahudi olmayan toplumlarda çok nadir görülen, otozomal resesif geçişli, ciddi, ilerleyici bir lökodistrofidir. Aspartoasilaz enzim yetmezliği sonucu gelişmektedir. Makrosefali, hipotoni, nöromotor gelişme geriliği en sık görülen bulgularındandır. Altıncı ayda psikomotor gelişim durur ve bunu hiperekstansiyon atakları izler. Manyetik Rezonans Spektroskopi (MRS) incelemesi yüksek duyarlılığı ve özgüllüğü nedeniyle hastalığın tanısında oldukça değerlidir. Tedavisi olmamakla birlikte, tanının kesinleştirilmesi ve diğer tanıların ekarte edilmesi açısından Manyetik Rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ve MRS önemlidir.

Abstract
Canavan disease is an autosomal recessively inherited severe progressive leukodystrophy and is rarely seen in nonJewish communities. It results from the deficiency of the aspartoacylase enzyme. The most common findings are macrocephaly, hypotonia, and neuromotor retardation. Psychomotor development ceases and hyperextension attacks follow in the sixth month. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is of high value in the diagnosis of this disease because of its high sensitivity and specificity. Although the disease has no treatment, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and MRS are important for confirming the diagnosis and eliminating other disorders

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 7 articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
