adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

Adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a condition that affects the brain and nervous system. It is known as a group of disorders in which certain substances build up in neurons, leading to problems with memory, movement, and sometimes vision. People with this condition often see symptoms starting in their thirties, which may include changes in behavior and cognitive abilities.

Common symptoms include dementia, seizures, and loss of motor skills. Some people may also experience vision problems caused by retinal degeneration.

This condition is genetically heterogeneous, meaning that different genetic factors can lead to its development. It is part of a group of disorders known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses where the buildup of waste material in brain cells leads to various symptoms as the condition progresses.
