  • Title: [The ceroid-lipofuscinoses: ocular ultrastructure and diagnosis by conjunctival biopsy (author's transl)].
    Author: Libert J, Martin JJ, Evrard P, Verougstraete C, Danis P.
    Journal: Arch Ophtalmol (Paris); 1977; 37(10):613-28. PubMed ID: 146472.
    Abstract:
    Histological studies of the eyes of three children affected with ceroid-lipofuscinosis show severe retinal destruction and generalized cellular overloading with ceroid-lipofuscin pigments. Conjunctival biopsies in eight patients distributed among the four different classical phenotypes of the disease demonstrate the diagnostic value of this simple and safe procedure.
