In 1991 Hardie described the clinical and pathological features of 19 cases of neuroacanthocytosis, resulting in the largest series reported with this rare disorder. During the past 15 years, there have been many advances in our understanding of the neuroacanthocytosis syndrome, including the identification of several different molecular causes. We have revisited the original Queen Square series in an attempt to correlate the clinical picture and natural history of each case with the new genetic findings.
