Abstract
In 1966, Maroteaux and Lamy first described four girls with pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy, a condition milder in severity than the Hurler syndrome and similar to the Scheie syndrome but without hepatosplenomegaly, cloudy cornea, or mucopolysacchariduria. In 1970, Spranger and Wiedemann (1970) designated pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy as mucolipidosis III because of Hurler-like features and vacuolated bone marrow cells (Kelly et al. 1975a, b).
