ABSTRACT
Adrenoleukodystrophy is an uncommon disease as the authors' stated, but the presentation with movement disorders, or more specifically dystonic symptoms, is one of the most common. As is true for some other inborn errors of metabolism, there are four types of adrenoleukodystrophy categorized according to the time of the onset of the disease. The neonatal and childhood adrenoleukodystrophies are the most common types associated with dystonic movements.
