In the present investigation 2 sporadic cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with the occurrence of myoclonic bodies (Lafora bodies) in the CNS are reported. The patients died after about 14 respectively 8 months lasting disease at the age of 41 and 43, respectively under the clinical signs of an ALS. Morphology, staining qualities, and the distribution of the myoclonic bodies in our cases correspond to the adult form of the myoclonic body disease (type Lundborg). In the literature we found further 6 cases of neurogenic muscle atrophy with the occurrence of myoclonic bodies in the CNS so that one might suppose a syntropy of these two affections. The possible pathophysiological relations of neurogenic muscle atrophy to the occurrence of myoclonic body disease in adults are briefly discussed.
