Abstract
Cases of metachromatic leucodystrophy in brother and sister are presented. The clinical pattern in the female was characterised by the progressing dementia, whereas in the male the first symptom was the manic syndrome. The neurological status was normal. The cases were diagnosed by the demyelination visible in MRI pattern and in the decreased activity of arylsulphatase A in blood leukocytes.
