Early diagnosis and treatment remarkably reduces neurologic and eye disorders. Case: A 7-month baby was admitted to digestive disease unit of children medical center for his growth impairment. During infancy he had digestive symptoms and after 5 years of age developed neurologic and ophthalmic symptoms (Disorders) with reduced triglycerides and cholesterol levels in serum. Severe acanthocytosis was detected in his peripheral blood smears. Conclusion: Diagnosis was based on clinical manifestations, special histopathologic changes of duodenum and acanthocytosis of peripheral blood smear. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of A-beta lipoproteinemia relieves gastrointestinal disorders and neurologic symptoms. Meanwhile it prevents early death of the patients.F FarahmandBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlea-beta lipoproteinemiaacanthocytosischolesterol levelsMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 2, Iss 2, Pp 57-59 (2000)
