Neuroaxonal dystrophy, a juvenile-adult form.

This paper is an anatomoclinical study of a neuroaxonal dystrophy case, starting in childhood and evolving up to maturity, which may be considered as a juvenile-adult form of this syndrome. Several of the morphologic emphasized aspects suggest that this juvenile-adult form is a primary affection of the axon and therefore, may be considered as a separate entity, differing from the Hallervorden-Spatz disease.
