Abstract
A 40-year-old man presented with both paraparesia and an athymhormic S yndrome. Bicapsular lesions together with abnormal evoked,motor potent ials suggested cortical and spinal involvement in the deficiency syndr ome. The neuropsychologic symptoms appeared to be secondary to bilater al pallidium lesions. Associated signs,were adrenoleukocystrophy and a drenomyeloneuropathy, suggesting the term, adrenoleukocyeloneuropathy.
