[Lafora bodies in the retina of various animals].
Lafora's bodies, formerly described in the retina in humans affected with familial myoclonic epilepsy--or Lafora's disease--and in dogs, were found not only in retinas of clinically healthy monkeys (macacus rhesus), but also in those of the healthy cat and dog. Lafora's bodies are not there fore characteristic of the specific disease.
