Pediatr Dev Pathol. 2018 Sep-Oct;21(5):494-496. doi: 10.1177/1093526617724293. Epub 2017 Aug 30.

Abstract

Neuronal intranuclear (hyaline) inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with a variable clinical presentation and multiple subtypes. We present the clinicopathologic details of a patient with juvenile-onset NIID and discuss the pathogenesis. We also discuss the utility of antemortem skin biopsy which was negative in our case.

Keywords: hyaline inclusion; inclusions; intranuclear; neurodegenerative; neuronal inclusions; ubiquitination.
