THE clinical features of a neuronal lipid storage disease in four Friesian calves from two herds have been described by Donnelly et al. (1972). The condition has since been recognised in four more calves from these herds and has been confirmed histochemically in a total of seven cases. Clinical signs were noticed in the first month of life. Affected calves were slow to feed, dull, reluctant to move and ataxic. Progression of the disease resulted in coma and death at 6 to 9 mth. Histopathological findings were ballooning of neurons with lipid. This paper describes the morphological and histochemical findings in seven of these calves. The results of lipid analyses of brain tissues from three affected calves and one control calf also are presented.
