Abstract excerpt
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathies are clinically and pathologically heterogeneous diseases, characterized by overlapping clinical and neuroradiological features and a difficult diagnostic process. Nevertheless, knowledge of the metabolic and genetic basis of leukoencephalopathies is constantly increasing. This article provides an overview of currently known leukoencephalopathies in adulthood, emphasizing, in...
