Abstract
A number of intraneuronal inclusion bodies are described as incidental findings, but the intracytoplasmic rod-like inclusions in the caudate nucleus are not widely known. They were called alcoholic hyaline-like bodies, because they were 1st reported in 2 patients with chronic alcoholism and the inclusions were likened to Mallory bodies of alcoholic human liver. Their prevalence was not significantly different in alcoholics with or without liver damage, in individuals with miscellaneous neurological disorders and in a control group of patients without neurological or hepatic disease. These inclusions represent a non-specific finding.
