A spectrum of cognitive-behavioral-movement disorders in adrenoleukodystrophy: A case series from a tertiary care centre in the eastern part of India
This study describes the patterns of cognitive, behavioral, and movement abnormalities in ALD and highlights the contributory role of dysfunctional white matter networks. Cognitive patterns predominantly reflect a posterior-to-anterior gradient of impairment of white matter connections, while behavioral markers indicate involvement of fronto-temporal-subcortical networks. Adding to this spectrum, the occurrence of tics and stereotypies is a unique observation in ALD.
