Late Niemann-Pick disease with neurovisceral storage: a classification problem.
A 51 year old man presented in 1969 with slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia of unknown origin. He was admitted to hospital aged 68 after a fall, and a ruptured spleen was removed at laparotomy. Histological analysis of the spleen suggested Niemann-Pick disease, which was subsequently confirmed. He deteriorated and died of bronchopneumonia shortly afterwards: subdural haemorrhage with storage ...
متن کاملAcid sphingomyelinase-deficient mice mimic the neurovisceral form of human lysosomal storage disease (Niemann-Pick disease)
We have generated an acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase)-deficient mouse line by gene targeting. This novel strain of mutant mouse mimics the lethal, neurovisceral form of the human sphingomyelin storage disease, known as Niemann-Pick disease. Homozygous mice accumulate sphingomyelin extensively in the reticuloendothelial system of liver, spleen, bone marrow, and lung, and in the brain. Most strikin...

Peripheral blood smears aid clinicians in choosing the appr...
متن کاملNiemann-Pick Disease
In 1914 Albert Niemann, a German pediatrician who primarily studied infant metabolism, published a description of an Ashkenazi Jewish infant with jaundice [5], nervous system and brain impairments, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). He reported that these anatomical disturbances resulted in the premature death of the child at the age of...
