A 78 year-old male presented with a bilateral pyramidal syndrome, urinary incontinence and mild intellectual slowing. He died seven months after onset of the neurological signs from cerebral infarct and heart failure. Neuropathological examination showed predominant involvement of the cerebral white matter including diffuse myelin pallor, astrocytic gliosis and small necrotic foci. Polyglucosan bodies were diffuse in the cerebral cortex, white matter, brainstem, cerebellum and proximal part of the cranial nerves. In these latter, some polyglucosan bodies were found within myelinated axons but the inclusions mostly involved astrocytic processes. This case is characteristic of the polyglucosan body disease. It is compared with the autopsy and biopsy cases previously reported in the literature.
