Abstract:
A case of late onset metachromatic leukodystrophy with a clinical picture of paranoid hallucinatory psychosis and severe dyskinesia is described. The problem of diagnostic recognition is discussed. In the case, diagnostic procedures were initiated after atypical clinical course, and established on the basis of MRI and specific biochemical tests.
