[Ceroid lipofuscinosis].

Abstract

Experiences with the care for the 37 patients with the juvenile type of neuronal (generalised) ceroid lipofuscinoses in a centre for multihandicapped people are described. Besides abnormalities of the visual and the nervous system attention is given to the psychopathological and cardiovascular symptoms. Remarkable is the great intra- and interindividual diversity in the course of the disease.
