5C56.1 Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2026-01

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited progressive degenerative brain diseases characterised clinically by a decline of mental and other capacities, epilepsy, and vision loss through retinal degeneration, and histopathologically by intracellular accumulation of an autofluorescent material, ceroid lipofuscin, in the neuronal cells in the brain and in the retina.
