abstract

sjogren-larsson syndrome (sls) is an inherited autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder with congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. we report a case of sjogren-larsson syndrome with clinical profile (mental retardation, ichthyosis, spastic diplegia) and mri findings such as seen in multiple sclerosis (ms). so this rare syndrome can be another differential diagnosis of ms.

White Matter Diseases YES, Multiple Sclerosis NO, Sjogren - Larsson Syndrome: Another Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS) is an inherited autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder with congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. We report a case of Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome with clinical profile (mental retardation, ichthyosis, spastic diplegia) and MRI findings such as seen in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Clinical evidence of lesions disseminated in time and space, backed up by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or spinal fluid changes, commonly leave neither room nor reason for doubt.

Sjogren - Larsson Syndrome

Sjogren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is an inherited disorder associated with impaired fatty alcohol oxidation due to deficient activity of fatty alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase (FAO). FAO is a complex enzyme which consists of two separate proteins that sequentially catalyze the oxidation of fatty alcohol to fatty aldehyde and fatty acid. To determine which enzymatic component of FAO was deficient in SLS...
