A 35-year-old, previously healthy man presented psychiatric symptoms lasting four
years, receiving treatment with neuroleptics. One year later he evolved with
gait disequilibrium. After a further six months, cognitive symptoms were
characterized with rapid evolution to a profound demented state. MRI showed
signal changes in cerebral white matter and very long-chain fatty acids were
detected in blood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
