    Journal: Neth J Med; 1996 Aug; 49(2):77-81. PubMed ID: 8824109.
    Abstract:
    A 31-year-old male patient is reported who presented with neurological symptoms. He developed a urinary tract infection and an Addisonian crisis. This was due to adrenomyeloneuropathy, a form of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and characterized by accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids in the adrenal cortex and nervous tissues.
