Abstract

An unusual ultrastructure for neurofibrillary tangles, which has not been described so far, is presented in a case of Alzheimer’s disease. This profile consists of parallelly arranged paired helical filaments and criss-cross tubular profiles that are arranged at regular interval of 300–500 nm, resembling rattan bamboo blind or Japanese sudare-like profiles. Coexistence of Hirano bodies in the same neuron is infrequently encountered.
