Adrenomyeloneuropathy.
[adrenomyeloneuropathy]
Adrenomyeloneuropathy
is
a
rare
X-
linked
inherited
disorder
of
peroxisomes
characterized
by
the
accumulation
of
very
long
chain
fatty
acids
(
VLCFA
)
in
the
central
and
peripheral
nervous
system
,
adrenal
glands
and
testis
leading
to
the
dysfunction
of
these
organs
and
systems
.
The
phenotypic
expression
is
highly
variable
,
childhood
cerebral
adrenoleukodystrophy
and
adrenomyeloneuropathy
being
the
main
variants
.
Here
we
report
a
case
of
adrenomyeloneuropathy
presenting
initially
as
Addison
's
disease
,
which
remained
undiagnosed
for
many
years
with
many
rare
features
.
We
could
not
locate
any
other
publication
on
this
subject
in
the
indexed
journals
of
literature
published
from
India
.
