Fibrinoid Leukodystrophy

📋Overview

Fibrinoid leukodystrophy is a legacy term historically used to describe a type of leukodystrophy characterized by fibrinoid degeneration of white matter. The modern preferred terminology corresponds to certain hereditary leukodystrophies, such as Alexander disease or other gliopathies involving abnormal white matter changes. Leukodystrophies are a group of genetic disorders affecting the brain's white matter due to abnormal development or destruction of myelin.
