Neuroradiology. 2001 Nov;43(11):951-2. doi: 10.1007/s002340100575.

Abstract

We report an asymptomatic 15-year-old boy with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and his symptomatic 38-year-old mother. MRI revealed similar, subtle high-signal lesions in the periventricular white matter of the parieto-occipital regions, without involvement of the corpus callosum, more pronounced in the mother.
