What disease does Lorenzo have in the movie Lorenzo's Oil?
In the 1992 movie Lorenzo's Oil, Lorenzo Odone suffered from a very rare disease called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). People that suffer from ALD accumulate high levels of saturated fatty acids in the brain because they lack an enzyme to break them down. Common symptoms can include poor school performance, behavioral changes such as abnormal withdrawal or aggression, and poor memory. Sadly the prognosis for those with ALD isn't good, after the onset of symptoms death usually occurs within 1 to 10 years.
