abstract="Late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme activity of Aryl sulfatase-A. The classical presentation is characterized by gait disturbance, frequent fall, toe walking, impaired swallowing and feeding, seizures, progressive neuroregression, decorticate posture and early death. Here we report a toddler who presented with frequent falls and cognitive regression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a striking leopard skin pattern. Recognition of this pattern on MRI in proper clinical context can serve as a clue to the diagnosis.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
