Abstract

We report two conjugal cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurring between 1977 and 1991 in southern France (Languedoc-Roussillon). Although conjugal ALS may occur by chance, the description of two cases in the same area points to a role of environmental or genetic factors in the etiology of the disease.
