The second case represents the Batten type of lesion.On the basis of their histochemical properties, the intracellular deposits in the cytoplasm of the ganglion cells of the retina, in both cases, may be defined as acid glycolipid compounds containing neuraminic acid and combined with the structural cell protein. In both types of the disease these compounds are virtually identical.Comparison of the histochemical character of the deposits in the ganglion cells of the retina and in the cerebral nerve cells showed that they are identical in the late-infantile form, but exhibit significant differences in the infantile form. Apparently, the retinal glycolipids become „mature“ earlier than the cerebral glycolipids.}, title={Morphology and histochemistry of retinal lesions in the infantile (Tay-Sachs) and late-infantile (Bielschowsky) forms of amaurotic idiocy}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/70576/PDF/publ_23.pdf}, keywords={amaurotic idiocy (Tay-Sachs), amaurotic idiocy (Bielschowsky), retinal lesions}, }
