[Thoracic computed tomography data and cytology of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in an adult case of Niemann-Pick disease. The physiognomy of the disease in Tunisia].
From a personal observation of a case of the chronic type-B form Niemann-Pick's disease in a 23 year old adult, the authors decided to review all the Tunisian published cases. They bring to light, in a review of the literature, the pulmonary disorder that occurs during this disease and discuss the contribution of computed tomography and the value of broncho-alveolar lavage as a method of diagnosis and prognosis in this disorder.
