Quantitative neuropathologic analysis of Pick's disease cases: cortical distribution of Pick bodies and coexistence with Alzheimer's disease.

abstract：:A cerebral biopsy was performed in a 39-year-old male patient with subacute paraparesis who later developed severe dementia and moderate cerebellar involvement. The histological examination showed a marked neuronal loss, severe neurofibrillary degeneration, and a great number of senile plaques. No PAS-positive plaques...
