[Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a child].
The paper deals with a case history of a 12-year-old boy, with lateral amyotrophical sclerosis. The process beginning with the bulbar syndrome and an adjunction of lesions of the central and peripheral motoneurons of the pyramidal path, had a malignant development. After 6 months the boy died from a respiratory paralysis. An analysis of the disease and histological data permit to allocate this observation to rare "slow" infections--the child form of lateral amyotrophical sclerosis.
