Central nervous system dysfunction as early sign of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten's disease) / Kirsten KRISTENSEN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-5 (October 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-5 (October 1983) . - p.588-590 Titre : Central nervous system dysfunction as early sign of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten's disease) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsten KRISTENSEN, Auteur ; Hans Christensen LOU, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.588-590 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : During a survey of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten's disease), two younger siblings of patients were found to have the characteristic vacuolation in 11 to 17 per cent of their lymphocytes. The children were four to five years of age and did not have any overt signs or symptoms of the disease. However, they both had markedly reduced auditory memory-span before decreased vision and funduscopic changes developed. The subsequent course of the disease confirmed the diagnosis. It is concluded that neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis may affect mental functions much earlier than previously believed.
