Mongolian blue spots, GM1 gangliosidosisAbstract
A 9-month old male child with GM1 gangliosidosis type 1 presented with Mongolian spots. The cutaneous lesions were present since birth before the appearance of the other features of the disease. Our patient, whose clinical course and physical signs were in keeping with GM1 gangliosidosis, had extensive Mongolian blue spots and this adds to the evidence supporting such an association.
