Extract

Hurler's disease is a condition characterized essentially by mental defect, chondro-osteodystrophy, hepatosplenomegaly and corneal opacities. The complex was first noted in 1900, by John Thomson of Edinburgh who, recognizing that he was dealing with a new disease, named it after his first patient “Johnny McL—'s Disease.” Subsequent descriptions were those of Hunter (1917) and Gertrud Hurler (1919).
