title: Computed tomographic evaluation of the early phase of adrenoleukodystrophy.
abstract: Analysis of computed tomograms of patients with adrenoleukodystrophy in the early disease phase reveals a dinstinct CT apperance. It is suggested that brain or adrenal biopsy may not be necessary for diagnosis of adrenoleukodystrophy when these particular CT features are correlated with the clinical course and other laboratory parameters.
