63. Virtual Hospital: Radiology Resident Case Of The Week: Adrenal Leukodystrophy (A 1996. Adrenal leukodystrophy (ALD). underway. Adrenal leukodystrophy can be subdivided into classic Xlinked ALD and infantile ALD. http://www.vh.org/pediatric/provider/radiology/PedRadSecTF/012696/

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.

Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (GCL) Description: Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (synonym: Krabbe's disease) is a degenerative disease of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. Segmental degeneration of some peripheral nerves may also occur. It is the result of a genetic deficiency of an enzyme (galactocerebroside b-galactosidase) that is involved in the breakdown of certain lipids (fats) in the brain and spinal cord. Clinical signs begin early in life and progress rapidly. Lack of coordination, weakness, stumbling, loss of control of the hindquarters, and tail tremors may be observed. Then the dog will develop a wide stance, incoordination, and posterior or total limb paralysis. The dog may become blind or fail to recognize familiar individuals. The response to painful stimuli is generally unaffected. Age of Onset: The disease may occur as early as 4 weeks of age and nearly always before 5 - 6 months of age. Diagnosis: The typical clinical signs along with characteristic histopathologic findings at autopsy in appropriate breeds are diagnostic. In addition, antemortem (before death) diagnosis can be made by measuring the mean galactocerebroside b-galactosidase enzyme activity in white blood cells. Furthermore, heterozygotes can be identified, since affected dogs have about 18% and carriers about 51% of the mean activity found in the cells of normal dogs. Treatment: There is no treatment, and the disease is invariably fatal.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Z Metachromatic leukodystrophy Definition: Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an inherited disease characterized by the absence of the enzyme arylsulfatase A, which causes a material called cerebroside sulfate to accumulate in cells. This is toxic to the cell, especially neurons (the cells of the nervous system) and causes the problems of the disease. MLD is a member of a class of diseases called lysosomal storage disorders. In these diseases, patients lack a protein needed to metabolize the food we eat. Alternative Names: MLD; Arylsulfatase A deficiency Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that a person must inherit the defective gene from both parents to be affected. 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 most severe form is the late infant onset form, which has symptoms such as irritability decreased muscle tone muscle wasting , and the loss of the ability to walk in babies who have started walking. The disease progresses to

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, psychosis and emotional disturbances are an important part of the illness. The juvenile form is fatal within a few years of diagnosis. The adult form may be drawn out over many years.

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Globoid-cell leukodystrophy is caused by a deficiency of galactocerebrosidase, which results in progressive central nervous system deterioration. We investigated whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation can provide a source of leukocyte galactocerebrosidase and thereby prevent the decline of central nervous system function in patients with the disease. Methods Five children with globoid-cell leukodystrophy (one with the infantile type and four with late-onset disease) were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
