Overview
CT
Brain CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Adrenoleukodystrophy but not used as it is less sensitive than MRI. Findings on CT scan suggestive of Adrenoleukodystrophy can include:
- Contrast enhancement within or adjacent to the abnormally hypodense deep white matter of the parietal, occipital lobes and at the interface between this active demyelinating
area and uninvolved normal brain. [1][2]
- Asymmetric areas of diminished attenuation in occipital horns of the lateral ventricles, the splenium of the corpus callosum and the right temporal lobe.[2]
