The imaging features were posterior white matter (Pattern-1) observed in 33 (68.75%) patients, cerebellar white matter (Pattern-4) noted in 5 subjects, anterior white matter (Pattern-2) observed in 3 patients, combined parieto-occipital and frontal white matter (Pattern-5) observed in 3 patients, isolated projection fiber (Pattern-3) observed in 1 patient. Rare features of the involvement of optic tract, anterior and lateral columns of cervicodorsal cord, bilateral central tegmental tracts, basal ganglia, and tigroid appearance were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a comprehensive clinical, biochemical, and imaging analysis with follow-up information of one of the largest series of X-ALD patients.
