A 51 year old man presented in 1969 with slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia of unknown origin. He was admitted to hospital aged 68 after a fall, and a ruptured spleen was removed at laparotomy. Histological analysis of the spleen suggested Niemann-Pick disease, which was subsequently confirmed. He deteriorated and died of bronchopneumonia shortly afterwards: subdural haemorrhage with storage material in neurones was found at necropsy. This late onset case of Niemann-Pick disease with neurovisceral storage is unusual and may represent a variant.
