Spontaneous neuronal lipodystrophy with visceral involvement is reported in a bull of an inbred strain of cattle. The presence of neuronal inclusions similar to the multilamellar cytosomes and curvilinear bodies described in a type of late infantile amaurotic idiocy and a neurovisceral storage disease in man was demonstrated by light microscopy and confirmed by histochemistry and electron microscopy.
