Abstract

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a neurodegenerative disorder interfering with sulfatide degradation. A late-infantile form can be distinguished from juvenile and adult forms. The aim of this project was the establishment of an objective score for describing changes in MR-imaging on the basis of previous attempts to describe such changes in adrenoleukodystrophy (Loes, 2003). It is not aimed at aiding in the initial diagnostic but should rather reliably describe the changes over time, as now, with bone marrow transplantation, a therapeutic option is available.
