A rare neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis characterized by developmental and motor delay/regression, psychomotor and cognitive regression, seizures, ataxia, and visual impairment. It may present classically with late infantile-onset, however juvenile or adult-onset has been also described. Patients with late infantile onset have early language and learning impairment whereas loss of vision and seizures appear later. In juvenile onset patients, disease may progress rapidly (not commonly observed); notably vision loss and inability to walk is usually occur within 1 year of the initiation of the symptoms. Seizures can be absent. In the adult onset patients first symptoms become evident around 20 years of age.
