title: Cochlear nerve degeneration coincident with adrenocerebroleukodystrophy.
abstract: A 19-month-old boy had adrenocerebroleukodystrophy and unusually severe cochlear nerve degeneration and demyelination, a condition in advance of that expected from known disease entities. We report the only known temporal bone study in adrenocerebroleukodystrophy.
