Leukodystrophy Flashcards
4 Major categories of leukodystrophy
Lysosomal storage disease, Peroxisomal
Mitochondrial
Other (canavan,PMD,alexander etc)
Three types of lysosomal storage disease
Metachromatic leukodystrophy
Krabbe
Mucopolysaccharidosis
Two types of peroxismal disorders
ALD
Zellweger
Three types of Mitochondrial dysfunction
Leigh
MELAS
Kearn-sayre
Metachromatic enzyme def
Arylsulfatase A
Krabbe enzyme def
Galactocerebroside-aspartoacylase
ALD enzyme def
acyl-CoA synthetase
two disoders that do NOT enhance on MRI
Metachromatic and PMD
Trigoid pattern (2) but what is the difference in locavtion
metachromatic and alexander (frontal involvement)
High CT attenuation
Krabbe
Migrating infarct
MELAS
Two disorders that include macrocephaly
MELAS and alexaNDER
Two x-linked disorder
ALD and PMD (all others are autosomal recessive)
ALD stands for
adrenaleukodystrophy
PMD stands for
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
