  • Look Inside

We reported a 28-year-old man with adrenoleu kodystrophy showing neurological features of oliovo-pontocerebellar atrophy. He had a 11-year history of Addison's disease. ACTH stimulation produced no rise in the plasma cortisol level. The ratios of C 24 : 0/C 22 : 0, C 25 : 0/C 22 : 0, and C 26 : 0/C 22 : 0 in fatty acids of sphingomyelin from plasma were all increased. MRI showed the atrophy of brainstem and cerebellum and the abnormal hyperintense lesions of the bilateral pyramidal tracts in the brainstem and internal capsule. 99mTc - HM PAO SPECT showed hypoperfusion of the deep white matter, frontal lobes, temporal lobes, and cere-bellum. We suggest that SPECT may be useful for detection of subclinical lesions in ALD.
