Abstract
The salient clinical features of Gaucher''s disease as seen in 29 proved cases are presented. It is a disease of adults as well as of children and infants. Evidence of hypersplenism was common, and this condition was almost invariably relieved by splenectomy. Follow-up studies showed that 6 patients who underwent splenectomy were alive 11 - 20 yrs. postoperatively.Keywords
