Abstract:
A five-year-old white male presented with a history of progressive loss of vision that was subsequently followed by progressive corticospinal dysfunction. Evaluation revealed the presence of leukodystrophy which was confirmed by a deficiency of the enzyme, galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase. We present the clinical, computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance imaging features of this late-onset form of globoid cell leukodystrophy.
