Abstract
The case, including pathological description, of a 65 year old man was presented. Severe disturbances in respiratory rhythm and consciousness occurring during wakefulness and sleep, progressing by acute exacerbations, developed after the disease was present for 4 yr and resulted in death after 3 mo. Small degenerative lesions of the pontine nucleus, the locus coerulus, the intermedio-lateral column and the substantia nigra were seen.
