Abstract
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal recessive, lipid storage disorder which is extremely rare in the Chinese population. It is characterized by progressive neurologic dysfunction and enlargement of tendon xanthomas, and is often accompanied with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Few reports are available regarding depression and antidepressant medication in CTX patients. Here, we report a Chinese case of CTX associated with fluoxetine-responsive major depression.
