Abstrakt     Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a progressive,usually fatal degenerative neurologic condition characterized by eosinophilic, intranuclear inclusions in neurons of the central and peripheral neurvous system. We report a boy with onset of disease manifestations at age 3 and death at age 9, who showed clinical and pathologic findings characteristic of NIID. The case is unique because of cardiomyopathy manifested 1 year prior to death. Postmortem findings confirmed the presence of cardiomyopathy and revealed intranuclear inclusions in myocytes. Neither nuclear inclusions in the myocardium nor cardiac involvement have previously been reported in NIID.
