Abstract
In order to clarify the sites of predilection for foamy spheroid bodies (FSBs) their regional distribution was studied in 56 persons (30-98 years) without neurodegenerative diseases. Variable amounts of FSBs were observed in approximately 30% of cases and favoured the rostro-ventral parts of the globus pallidus (GP), including the ventral pallidum, and/or the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). The results strongly suggest that FSBs develop during aging and are a hitherto undescribed pathological hallmark for degeneration of the GP and the SNr.Entities:
