Joseph disease: a multisystem degenerative disorder of the nervous system
Neurology.
1982 Feb.
Abstract
We studied Joseph disease clinically and pathologically in two patients of Portuguese ancestry, but from different families. We found involvement of spinocerebellar tracts, Clarke's column, anterior horn cells, motor cranial nerve nuclei, and substantia nigra. One patient also had pallidosubthalamic and pontocerebellar degeneration with normal inferior olives. The second patient, a Joseph family member, had nerve cell loss in the subthalamic nucleus. The neostriatum appeared normal in both cases. The pigmented nuclei contained a few Lewy bodies. The almost identical pathology in two families support the hypothesis that Joseph disease is a genetic entity.
