Childhood Dementia (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, or NCL) is a metabolic disease that has hardly been researched to date. It is incurable, progresses
inexorably and leads to early death.
Affected children go blind, suffer from epilepsy and increasingly lose their cognitive and motoric abilities until they die - usually before the age of 30. As the NCL Foundation,
we are committed to national and international research funding in order to give children affected by NCL a prospect of previously missing therapeutic and curative approaches.
NCL is the most common form of childhood dementia. It is still fatal and incurable. Learn more about the course and the main indications of this cruel disease.»
