Abstract:
We report a patient with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) with a first manifestation of homicide. On admission the patient showed a hebephrenia-like syndrome with inappropriate affect, thought disorder and behavioral changes. Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) findings suggested a diagnosis of MLD, which was confirmed by a decreased activity of leucocyte arylsulfatase A and an excessive urinary sulfatide excretion.
