Highlights
Corpora amylacea (CA) are globular bodies usually 10 – 50 μm in diameter mainly made up of glucose polymers, which stain strongly with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining
Large amounts of CA have been reported in a subset of patients with temporal epilepsy specimens, even where unusual and extensive amounts of CA replaced the pyramidal layers of the cornu ammonis [2]
We present here a case where extensive amounts of CA were detected
