Radiology Resident Case of the Week: January 26, 1996 Adrenal Leukodystrophy (ALD) Mike Rubin, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Clinical Sx: The disease usually presents in males age 5-10 years old with a gradual disturbance in gait and slight intellectual impairment. There is usually rapid progression with hypotension, seizures, visual complaints, and difficulty in swallowing appearing with time. Abnormal skin pigmentation or other signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency may become apparent before CNS symptoms. In some cases, adrenal symptoms never appear. Etiology/Pathophysiology: Classic ALD and the adult variant adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) are X-linked diseases in which there is deficiency of lignoceroyl-CoA ligase, a perioxisomal enxyme needed for the degradation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA). Pathology: White matter diseases are usually classified as demyelinating or dysmyelinating diseases. Dysmyelinating diseases such as ALD are inherited enzymatic deficiencies that cause abnormal formation or increased breakdown of myelin. Demyelinating diseases result in the loss of normally formed myelin by processes such as infection, chemotherapy, radiation, and autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. The diagnosis of ALD is made by the assay of plasma, red cells, or cultured fibroblasts for increased amounts of VLCFA.

Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. MLD has a wide range of symptoms. As with many other storage diseases, there are forms of early and delayed onset (late infant, juvenile and adult types). The most common (and the most severe form) is the late infant onset form, which has symptoms such as irritability decreased muscle tone muscle wasting , the loss of the ability to walk. Debility is progressive with blindness seizures , and partial paralysis . Death occurs usually before age 10. Both the juvenile and adult forms have later onset but similar symptoms. In the adult and juvenile forms

A World Record Attempt and Film Documentary The Mississippi River Challenge for Rett Syndrome And Leukodystrophy - Beginning May 10, 2003 - The Mississippi River Leukodystrophy The Mississippi River Challenge for Rett Syndrome And Leukodystrophy What is Leukodystrophy Leukodystrophy refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by the imperfect development or maintenance of the white matter (myelin sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain). The myelin sheath is an extremely complex fatty substance made of many components. Each of the leukodystrophies affects one of these components. The most common signs seen in most leukodystrophies include gradual changes in an infant or child who previously appeared well. Changes may appear in body tone, movements, gait, speech, ability to eat, vision, hearing, behavior, memory, or thought processes. The symptoms, which vary according to the specific type of leukodystrophy, may be difficult to recognize in the early stages of the disease. Specific Conditions Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)/Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome
