چکیده انگلیسی
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare lysosomal disorder caused by deficient activity of arylsulfatase A or the lack of saposin B, which results in the accumulation of sulfatide in the oligodendrocytes and in the Schwann cells. Three main clinical types of MLD can be distinguished according to the age of onset and the dynamics of clinical outcome: late infantile, juvenile, and adult. We report on a case of late infantile MLD presenting with cerebellar ataxia as the only first clinical sign preceding even changes in white matter visible in MR imaging. The diagnosis was made on the basis of successive MRI, characteristic of demyelination, which developed in the course of the disease, and on the results of the following biochemical and molecular analyses. Very low residual activity of arylsulfatase A was demonstrated in blood leukocytes and the patient was a homozygote for a common mutation c.459+1G>A in the ARSA gene. Since cerebellar ataxia is a relatively common but unspecific neurological symptom in toddlers, it is recommended that MLD be considered as part of the differential diagnosis even if the initial neuroimaging studies are normal and ataxia is the only clinical symptom of the disease.
