Abstrakt: The Hagberg-Santavuori syndrome, the infantile form of the lipopigment storage disorders (so-called neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses), is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive mental and motor deterioration with an onset between 1 and 1½ years of age. Visual impairment is usually evident early in the disease and hypopigmented retinal degeneration has been described. We studied two unrelated patients with the infantile Hagberg-Santavuori form and found stellate posterior polar cataracts and retinal degeneration with hyperpigmented “bone spicules” in both.
