Sir, Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare metabolic disorder that predominantly affects white matter of central nervous system, with involvement of the adrenal glands and testis as well. The childhood X-linked variety is the most common and severe type. It results in severe neurological dysfunction and has fairly classical MRI features.

Serial imaging in our case highlighting this is presented.
