Description
Abstract
We report a case of the Werdnig-Hoffmann
disease in a 4-month-old male infant. The morphological
study revealed perimysial fibrosis. variability in the size
of muscle fibers, absence of target fibers, few central
nuclei and normality in vessels, nerves and neuromuscular
junctions. The morphometrical examination
showed the existence of normal-sized and atrophic fibers
in both fibrillar types. as well as in hypertrophic type 1
fibers. The percentage of fibrillar types and the data
obtained from the form factor are normal. Random
distribution of type 1 and 11 muscle fibers were observed.
