title: Computed tomography in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis: four case reports.
abstract: The computed tomography findings are discussed in four cases of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. When this severely progressive inherited disease of lipid metabolism is suspected, confirmation may be obtained with electron microscopy of peripheral lymphocytes and certain tissues. Some physiologic-pathologic features are discussed.
