Abstract: Background: A 7-year-old boy with an atypical form of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
is reported, predominantly involving frontal, occipital and temporal lobes, corticospinal tracts and
cerebellar lobes.
Methods: The disease has been well documented previously with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI).
Discussion: However, there isn't enough data on Magnetic Resonance Perfusion Imaging (MRPI)
and non-contrast Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) technique in current literature.
Conclusion: We presented initial and follow up MRI and multiphase ASL perfusion MRI findings.
