Abstract

Canine ceroid lipofuscinosis is a degenerative neuronal disorder which has as a distinct pathologic counterpart, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis or Batten's disease in humans. The disease occurs in English setters and is associated with abnormal accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigments. As such, a study of this animal model may allow insight into the aging process as well. This investigation explores the computed tomographic features of canine ceroid-lipofuscinosis and correlates these findings (progressive atrophy, inherent changes in CT/NMR tissue characteristics) with clinical and pathologic features.
