Brain MRI and Electrophysiologic Abnormalities in Preclinical and Clinical Adrenomyeloneuropathy
Neurol 42:85-91, Aubourg,P.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe the neurophysiologic abnormalities in 17 patients with clinical adrenomyeloneuropathy(AMN),an adult phenotype of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy(ALD).These abnormalities also allowed the early recognition of the AMN phenotype in three asymptomatic boys with biochemically proven ALD.In 14/16 adult AMN patients,there were cerebral white matter abnormalities on MRI which were severe and comparable with cerebral ALD in four of the patients.
