Abstract
Adrenoleukodystrophy is an inherited metabolic disorder resulting in accumulation of fatty acids in body tissues, principally the central nervous system. We report a recently identified kindred with this disease to highlight the varied clinical manifestations and recent advances in diagnosis and treatment.
