Two patients with lipoid proteinosis reported in whom paranoid symptoms were the presenting feature had a long standing impairment of memory and bilateral medial temporal lobe calcification demonstrated by CT scan.

Abstract

Two patients with lipoid proteinosis are reported in whom paranoid symptoms were the presenting feature. Both had a long standing impairment of memory and bilateral medial temporal lobe calcification demonstrated by CT scan. Possible associations between the anatomical site of these lesions and the neuropsychiatric manifestations are discussed.
