Treatment of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with chenodeoxycholic acid
Annals of Neurology
|October 1, 1985
Abstract:
We describe a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis who was treated for one year with chenodeoxycholic acid. Modest clinical improvement was accompanied by marked improvement in visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Improved central nervous system function coincided with return of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid cholestanol levels to normal.
