title: Delayed postanoxic demyelination and arylsulfatase-A pseudodeficiency.
abstract: We report a patient with delayed postanoxic demyelination who had pseudodeficiency of arylsulfatase A, reducing his enzyme activity to 10 to 30% of normal. This may have implications regarding the pathogenesis of postanoxic demyelination.
