Presentation
Herein we present a case of Gaucher disease (GD) type 2 in a neonate presenting with collodion membrane in addition to blueberry muffin lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Perinatal presentation is often with non-immune hydrops fetalis, in utero fetal demise or neonatal cardiorespiratory distress. [hindawi.com]
Type 2 Gaucher Disease can present with acuities when it presents at birth, but hepatosplenomegaly is common in all forms of type 2 Gaucher Disease. [metabolic.diseases.spot-early-signs.org]
Traditionally, the clinical presentation is considered to be stereotypic; however it can range from hydrops fetalis to the collodion baby phenotype to infants presenting after 6 months of life. [epostersonline.com]

Such distinctions very early in the Gaucher Disease course are clinically very challenging, but are of great importance in eventual prognosis since they impact the choices of therapy. [childrensgaucher.org]
