Preferred Label : diffuse cerebral sclerosis of schilder;
MeSH definition : A rare central nervous system demyelinating condition affecting children and young
adults. Pathologic findings include a large, sharply defined, asymmetric focus of
myelin destruction that may involve an entire lobe or cerebral hemisphere. The clinical
course tends to be progressive and includes dementia, cortical blindness, cortical
deafness, spastic hemiplegia, and pseudobulbar palsy. Concentric sclerosis of Balo
is differentiated from diffuse cerebral sclerosis of Schilder by the pathologic finding
of alternating bands of destruction and preservation of myelin in concentric rings.
Alpers' Syndrome refers to a heterogeneous group of diseases that feature progressive
cerebral deterioration and liver disease. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology,
6th ed, p914; Dev Neurosci 1991;13(4-5):267-73);
