AB  - The  sphingolipidoses  are  a  clinically  heterogeneous  group  of  disorders  characterized  by  inherited  point  defects  in  the  breakdown  of  complex  lipids;  this  results  in  the  accumulation  of  compounds  containing  a  large  lipophilic  core  called  ceramide  and  either  a  hydrophilic  oligosaccharide  (glycosphingolipids)  or  a  phosphorylcholine  (sphingomyelin).1  Ceramide  is  composed  of  a  long-chain  fatty  alcohol  containing  an  amine  group  in  amide  linkage  with  a  long-chain  fatty  acid  (Fig.  161-1).
