Abstract

Giant-axonal neuropathy (GAN), a chronic peripheral neuropathy with associated Central Nervous System dysfunction and tight curly hair, is described in a 17-year-old girl. Biopsies of this girl’s muscle and nerve are characteristic of this condition. Her clinical course over a 12 year period characterizes a disease of a slowly progressive nature.
