title: [X-linked adult onset adrenoleukodystrophy. A case report].
abstract: The authors report a case of an X-linked-adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) in a young adult presenting with hemianopsia. Adult onset cerebral ALD is rare and represents only 3% of cases of ALD. The observation describes clinical data, as well as conventional and spectroscopic MR imaging and related value in prognosis evaluation.
