ABSTRACT
We report a 37-year-old man with adrenomyeloneuropathy who presented as progressive gait disturbance. He had spastic paraparesis, hyperreflexia with Babinski's signs, a sensory level at T-4, and loss of the vibration sense in the legs. No adrenal insufficiency was noted. There were frontal white matter abnormalities but no cervical spinal lesions on MRI. A nerve conduction study showed distal axonal neuropathy predominantly in the lower extremities. The plas-ma level of the saturated very long chain fatty acids was elevated. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(4)431~434, 2001)
