  • Title: Treatment of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with chenodeoxycholic acid.
    Author: Pedley TA, Emerson RG, Warner CL, Rowland LP, Salen G.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 1985 Oct; 18(4):517-8. PubMed ID: 4073846.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis who was treated for one year with chenodeoxycholic acid. Modest clinical improvement was accompanied by marked improvement in visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Improved central nervous system function coincided with return of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid cholestanol levels to normal.
