Abstract
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is now considered to be an X-linked recessive peroxisomal disorder. We report the case of a patient with ALD associated with a left parietal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) who deteriorated progressively six months after recovery from a hemorrhage of the AVM. Serial CT scans and MR imagings showed progressive demyelination spreading from the affected area. This case suggests that local brain damage due to AVM hemorrhage may accelerate the progress of demyelination.Keywords
