Abstract:
An 11-month-old castrated male Japanese domestic cat was euthanized because of neurological symptoms such as shivering and difficulty of walking. Histopathological examination showed glial proliferation and marked deposition of ceroid-lipofuscin in the neuronal and glial cells of the brain. Ceroid-lipofuscin was deposited also in reticuloendothelial cells of the liver, spleen and some lymph nodes.
