Description
The present revised work, designed initially to update and expand as necessary the subject area covered by the corresponding original volume, charts the progress achieved in this rapidly advancing field during the intervening 26 years. It should be consulted in conjunction with "Leukodystrophies and Poliodystrophies", which includes superb clinical and morphological data that have stood the test of time. Two aspects still central are: the four levels of sophistication in the elucidation of a metabolic error; and the blurring of lines of distinction between disease processes.
