Abstract
The literature concerning the pathologic changes of the intramuscular nerve fibers in muscular dystrophy is scanty. The common opinion is that lesions in the motor nerve fibers occur during the advanced stage of the disease. The Coers and Woolf (1) intravital staining of nerve fibers with methylene blue has made possible the evaluation of even the most peripheral portion of those fibers. A recent study of nerve endings in some muscular diseases (2) also revealed various abnormalities of nerve fibers in muscular dystrophy. In the present investigation these changes have been further analyzed in a larger biopsy material. Prime attention has been paid to interrelation between various degrees of muscular abnormality, especially fiber atrophy, and morphologic changes of the nerve fibers.
