Review Case ReportsBerardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy - A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL), also known as congenital generalised lipodystrophy, is a genetic disorder where there is an absolute deficiency of adipose tissue. It affects the development of adipocytes and ultimately leads to an inability to store fat in adipocytes. It is extremely rare. ⋯ BSCL is an infrequent condition leading to several cardiometabolic complications. Timely diagnosis can lead to better management and prevention of complications. Keywords: Insulin resistance, Lipodystrophy, Acanthosis nigricans, Hypertriglyceridemia, Genetic disease.
