[Early changes in magnetic resonance tomography in adrenoleukomyeloneuropathy].
In this case report we describe the MRI findings of a 24-year-old male with adrenoleukomyeloneuropathy, an intermediate form of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenomyeloneuropathy. At the onset of illness MRI revealed circumscribed lesions of tracts and fiber systems of the CNS. One year later MRI showed progressive demyelination of the parietal and occipital medullary layer corresponding to the clinical deterioration. Such a progression of MRI findings has not previously been reported in the literature.
