A number of previously unreported neuropathological findings in 31 unselected coastal Papua New Guineans are discussed. A peculiar and previously unknown calcification around the ventral surface of the medulla oblongata in two children is described in detail. Our results suggest that more frequent neuropathological investigations are needed in Papua New Guinea.
