From the case:
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/109867/annotated_viewer_json?c=1669499498\u0026lang=us"}
MRI of the brain demonstrates high signal intensity in T2/FLAIR and low signal intensity on T1 involving the deep white matter of bilateral parieto-occipital lobes and extending into the splenium of corpus callosum, posterolateral thalamus, posterior limb of the internal capsule, and cortico-spinal tracts. There is no diffusion restriction. Faint enhancement is noted along the anterior margin of the lesion.
Case Discussion
Typical appearance of adrenoleukodystrophy.
