About LBSL
Leukoencephalopathy with Brainstem and Spinal Cord Involvement and Lactate Elevation (commonly referred to as LBSL) is a progressive disorder affecting the brain and spinal cord. Leukoencephalopathy refers to abnormalities in the white matter of the brain, which is tissue containing nerve cell fibers that that transmit nerve impulses.
