Abstract
Canavan disease, a rare genetic and metabolic neurodegenerative disorder, occurs at early ages, causing visual, neurological alterations, and fatal consequences. There is no curative treatment, although lithium citrate is being investigated. The authors report the first case of Canavan disease in Basque Country associated to a novel mutation which is identified for the first time in Europe.
