Abstract
A young male patient affected with Lafora's disease and concomitant mental deterioration, myoclonic jerks and epileptic seizures is reported. A cerebral biopsy showed round PAS-positive myoclonus bodies in nerve cells and neuropile. A tendency to periodic recurrence of paroxysmal activity in the EEG tracings, an unusual finding in Lafora's disease, is briefly discussed.
