Abstract:
We describe here a rare case of lymphoedema (Anderson-Fabry's disease) and its examination using isotopic lymphography. Anderson-Fabry's disease gives rise to various multisystem problems including lymphoedema which are all secondary to the deposition of glycosphingolipids in venous tissue. The prognosis particularly in homozygote males is poor.
