Long-term effect of bone marrow transplantation in adult-onset adrenoleukodystrophy

We report a long-term outcome of motor function in a patient with adult-onset adrenoleukodystrophy after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Clinically motor function gradually improved and became almost normal in 2 years after BMT. Serial transcranial magnetic stimulation showed gradual improvement of central motor conduction until 1 year after BMT, and then it became stable. Central motor conduction time and motor threshold were useful for monitoring the central motor function in this patient.
