A congenital condition of the metabolism which causes polysaccharides and fat cells to accumulate in the body, resulting in mental impairment, swollen liver and coarse features.<\/p>\n
A combination of defects often found in (and an outdated term for) Hurler\u2019s syndrome but found in some other genetic disorders as well. Among the characteristics of gargoylism are dwarfism; mental retardation; large head with protruding tongue and prominent brows; thick arms, legs, hands, and ribs, along with various other skeletal deformities; enlarged liver and spleen; and some eye defects, such as clouded cornea.<\/p>\n
