•Very low power view of white matter in metachromatic
leukodystrophy, showing many macrophages and granular
collections of storage material as well as pallor
of myelin.
•Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an inherited disease
of myelin due to lack of arylsulphatase.
•As a result, abnormal myelin is formed.
•This abnormal myelin breaks down prematurely.
