We report a 23-year-old woman with adult Sandhoff disease, who presented with motor neuron disease phenotype. The patient had experienced progressive motor weakness in four extremities since 1 year prior to admission. Electrophysiological study revealed wide-spread denervation potentials, and the assay of total hexosaminidase involving A and B activities showed decreased levels of these activities, which was consistent with Sandoff disease. This is the first Korean case of adult Sanhoff disease presented as a motor neuron disease phenotype.
