Abstract
 A 17-year-old Japanese boy was found to have ataxia, generalized angiokeratomas, skeletal deformities, visual impairment, and macular cherry-red spots, without hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, or renal failure. Laboratory examination disclosed a deficiency of β-galactosidase as well as of neuraminidase activity in the leukocytes and fibroblasts, while  -galactosidase and -L-fucosidase activities were normal. On electron microscopic examination, numerous cytoplasmic vacuoles containing flocculated material were found in the vascular endothelial cells, histiocytes, perineurial cells, and Schwann's cells.
