Sandhoff's Disease: A Case Report
Sandhoff disease is a rare inherited disorder within the sphingolipidosis family, characterized by the accumulation of lipids in the nervous system due to a deficiency in hexosaminidase types A and B enzymes. This condition leads to progressive neurological disorders and eventual blindness, often resulting in fatality before the age of 4.
