A Caucasian female who was noted to be mildly microcephalic at birth was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy at the age of 1 year. Her development was delayed and she never walked or talked. She appeared relatively stable neurologically until the age of 17 years when she had an illness with fever thought to be due to a virus. She was noted to deteriorate from this time on until her death at the age of 19 years. Autopsy revealed intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions wide-spread throughout the brain and visceral organs. There was no evidence of inflammation. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong immunoreactivity for tau protein and neurofilament protein. Electron microscopy revealed the inclusions to be composed of homogeneous finely granular material. Scattered within the granular material in the cytoplasmic bodies were crystalline structures with a honeycomb appearance. The possibility of these changes representing an old viral infection or a primary metabolic disorder are discussed.
