Neurofibrillary accumulation in a puppy.
A diffuse neuronal intracytoplasmic accumulation of a fibrillar material is described in a 12-week-old puppy with signs of progressive neurologic disease. Electron microscopic examination revealed fibrils about 120A in diameter aggregated in the perikaryon and processes of neurons primarily in the brain stem.
