Abstract:
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a rare but treatable lysosomal disorder with heterogeneous clinical presentations including cognitive impairment, movement disorders and vertical gaze palsy. We illustrate five cases of genetically confirmed NPC and highlight backward leaning during gait as a relevant clinical sign and a useful diagnostic clue.
