| Abstract | A 21-year-old man with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) suffered a traumatic brain injury after a motor vehicle accident. He had been diagnosed with X-ALD after developing adrenal insufficiency ten years prior, but had no known neurologic involvement. Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the time of his motor vehicle accident revealed bilateral, frontalpredominant cerebral microbleeds, with no white matter abnormalities (Figure 1). After a 1-month hospital admission, he was transferred to rehabilitation, and during 2 months there, he reattained independence of activities of daily living. Unfortunately, he then suffered an acute neurocognitive decline, with inattention, disorientation, apathy, and impaired memory.
