摘要：

All amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases hospitalized over a 25-year period in the University Department of Neurology in Athens were surveyed, with emphasis given to the occupation of the patients and the geographic distribution of the disease. The results showed an overrepresentation of farmers among patients and an aggregation of cases in the region of Cephalonia. These findings might suggest that environmental factors could be involved in the etiology of the disease.
