Widespread intranuclear neuronal corpuscles (Marinesco bodies) associated with a familial spinal degeneration with
Abstract:
Widespread intranuclear, paranucleolar, acidophilic corpuscles, known as Marinesco bodies, were found in association with degeneration of the posterior columns of ting at the age of 45 years. Neurological examination of his sister (aged 51 years) inciates that she is suffering from the same diseases. The cases appear to belong to the predominantly spinal form of spino-cerebellar degenerations or Friedreich's ataxia. This report, which includes an electron microscope examination, considers the pathological significance of Marinesco bodies.

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
