  • Title: [Adrenoleukomyeloneuropathy in an adult].
    Author: Josien E, Lefebvre V, Vermersch P, Pasquier F, Petit H.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1993; 149(3):230-2. PubMed ID: 8235221.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of adrenomyeloneuropathy in a 35-year-old man. He experienced acute adrenal insufficiency at 29 years of age, followed by psychic disorders and mental deterioration, then spastic paraparesia, dysarthria and peripheral neuropathy. MRI showed high-intensity signal areas in the cerebellum and periventricular white matter. Clinical symptoms, neurophysiological and neuroradiological examinations disclosed both features of adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenomyeloneuropathy. This indicates that adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenomyeloneuropathy probably represent two portions of the same entity.
