Abstract
Human and canine globoid leukodystrophy were indistinguishable morphologically [by light microscopy and EM]. Both had characteristic deposits with polygonal cross-sectional profiles in addition to twisted ribbon-like structures. The specificity of the deposits was emphasized, and their laminated nature was corroborated by freeze-fracture studies. Their apparently hollow profiles in cross section may be produced by the tight arrangement of the bilayers that prevent penetration of the stain.
