11 patients with a diagnosis of leucodystrophy are reported. In 9 the CAT scan was abnormal and showed areas of markedly decreased density in the white matter. 3 of these patients had adrenoleucodystrophy. In 2, contrast enhancement at the anterior borders of the low density areas was present. The 2 negative scans were from children with metachromatic leucodystrophy; one had an atypical form of the disease and the other had the biochemical defect, but was still presymptomatic and had no neurological deficit.
