Extractions: Abstract. The ultrastructural features of the white blood cells from an 18 year old patient with juvenile ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten's disease) are described. The most prominent finding was the decrease in granular content in the polymorphonuclear cells and the presence of numerous vacuoles in the lymphocytes, a part of them filled with lipid material. Some polymorphonuclears contained large granules with amorphous structure. These findings are consistent with those observed in Alder's anomaly. The difference from that anomaly and the abnormal findings in the white blood cells from patients with Batten's disease is discussed.

American Roentgen Ray Society The Answer is neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Discussion Questions 1.The following are true regarding neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis http://www.arrs.org/edu/caseofweek/pediat/pediat98/cow98_0105/98_0105d.html
Extractions: University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC The Answer is: Discussion: The various forms of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses comprise one of the most frequent neurodegenerative storage disorders occurring in infancy and childhood. In general there are four subtypes of the disease: infantile, late infantile, juvenile and adult, each with characteristic neurologic signs and symptoms. The disorders have an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance in infants, children and adults and rarely, an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance in adults. Although the four subtypes are nonallelic, they share the same basic clinical and pathological presentations. Neurologic signs include ataxia, choreoathetosis, stereotyped hand movements, muscular hypotonia, epilepsy, visual failure, and irritability. In NCL histologic examination reveals abnormal storage material which fills neuronal perikarya and oftentimes extends into the proximal axon. A striking feature of this disease is the yellow green autofluorescence of storage granules. Ultrastructural analysis is of major import as it discloses abundant lysosome-like structures with electron dense material and curvilinear structures. The etiology of these structures is not completely known however, "direct protein sequencing established that the major component is identical to the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) reactive proteolipid, subunit c, of mitochondrial ATP synthase and that this protein accounts for at least 50% of the storage body mass".
