Perinatal neuropathy as an early manifestation of Krabbe's disease
J. S. Lieberman, M. Oshtory, R. G. Taylor and P. M. Dreyfus
An asymptomatic child with antenatally diagnosed globoid cell
leukodystrophy was found to have electrodiagnostic evidence of peripheral
neuropathy at 7 weeks of age. The earliest prior such evidence in the
literature was in a 6-month-old-child. Thus, peripheral neuropathy can be
both the initial manifestation and a very early finding in Krabbe's
disease.
