Abstract
This is a report of one of the few cases of an adult form of metachromatic leukodystrophy with almost exclusively psychiatric symptoms. This should point out the importance of a careful organic diagnostic assessment in all patients with the first manifestation of a psychiatric disease. In this case an investigation of the patient's family confirmed the heterozygote genetic origin of the disease.
