Incidental magnetic resonance imaging findings leading to an unusual diagnosis: Adult onset Krabbe disease.

Background And Purpose: Krabbe disease (KD), or globoid cell leukodystrophy (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man #245200), is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in GALC leading to galactocerebrosidase deficiency. Age at onset can vary from early infancy (3-6 months of age) to adulthood, which has rarely been reported. Little is known about the natural history and early manifestations of adult onset KD (AOKD).
