Abstract
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is one of the heredodegenerative diseases fo r which clinical and neuropathologic findings are well documented. We prese nt a patient with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis with true p recocious puberty; to our knowledge, this association has not been reported before. The association could be due to an underlying disturbance of hypot halamic-pituitary gonadal function, or to coincidence.
