Abstract:
The case of Alexander's fibrinoidal leucodystrophy that was presented below is an exemplar of extremely rare degenerative disease of the CNS. On the grounds of the clinical course of the disease it seems that our case can be reckoned as an early childhood form of Alexander's disease. An interesting difference that pays attention is the marked hydrocephalus. In the most cases of Alexander's disease the volume of ventricular system is normal however most of authors expresses that it sometimes can be slightly and insignificantly enlarged.
