Abstract

Krabbe's disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder in which galactocerebroside and psychosine accumulate in macrophages and demyelination of white matter of the cerebrum. We present a case of Krabbe's disease with enlargement of optic nerves in gross autopsy findings, presence of globoid cells in histology and MR images showing abnormal signals.

Keywords: Globoid cell; Krabbe disease; Optic nerve enlargement.
