Visual System Abnormalities in Adrenomyeloneuropathy
Ann Neurol 37:550-552, Kaplan,P.W.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We studied the visual system in 59 men with adrenomyeloneuropathy.Pattern- reversal visual evoked potentials,magnetic resonance imaging,and clinical examination revealed that visual pathways are affected in 63%of patients, involving the optic discs,optic nerves,lateral geniculate bodies,optic radiations,and parietooccipital cortex.This indicates both primary demyelination of the optic nerves and discs,and more diffuse involvement of postchiasmal structures.
