The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are large group of autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorders with both enzymatic deficiency and structural protein dysfunction. Previously, diagnosis of (NCL) was based on age at onset clinicopathological (C‐P) findings described 4 forms, classified as infantile (INCL) (2), late‐infantile (LINCL) (5), juvenile (JNCL) (6), and adult (ANCL) most patients with NCL have progressive ocular and cerebral dysfunvtion, including cognitive/motor dysfunction and uncontrolled seizures. After reviewing 520 patients with NCL, we found that about 104 (20%) did not fit this classification of NCL With further research, 4 additional forms have been recognized: F…
