Abstract:

A 40-year-old patient with suspected facio-scapulo-humeral dystrophy (FSHD) was examined. Abiceps biopsy was performed.On the cross-section of some normal diameter fibres, myofibrillles arranged circumferentially andforming “ring binden” structures were observed.Atrophied fibres characterized by accumulation of nuclei were seen.Some mononuclear muscle fibers of small diameter with myotube-like morphology showingsignificant disrupture of the contractile apparatus were observed.Some of neuromuscular junctions were characterized by poor postsynaptic apparatus.Nerve fibres with the characteristics of “onion bulb” were seen.
