Motor neuron disease in lead intoxication – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/289268218

Lead intoxication may result in a motor-predominant neuropathy that may mimic motor neuron disease. Separately, epidemiological studies have suggested lead as a possible risk factor for the development of motor neuron disease, although this has not been confirmed.
