Our son 12 years, has this diagnosis. He has a white matter change in the midline of his cerebellum shown on MRI which has remained essentialy the same over 3 years. Because he has been tested for all other known leukodystrophies and all have come back negative his Dr gave him this label for want of a name. It isn't a known entity yet . Hope this is of some help
