title: Neuropathologic findings in a patient with neuroblastoma and myoclonic encephalopathy.
abstract: The neuropathological basis for myoclonic encephalopathy associated with neuroblastoma has never been demonstrated. In our 6-year-old patient, the brain changes were restricted to the cerebellum and consisted of demyelination, gliosis, and loss of Purkinje's cells.
