Abstract
We report an asymptomatic 15-year-old boy with X-linked adrenoleukodystroph y and his symptomatic 38-year-old mother. MRI revealed similar, subtle high -signal lesions in the periventricular white matter of the parieto-occipita l regions, without involvement of the corpus callosum, more pronounced in t he mother.
