Muscle segment examination in light and electron microscopy

Abstract:

A 13-year-old patient with suspected congenital myopathy was examined. A biopsy quadriceps sinister was performed. Electronmicroscopy analysis revealed most of the muscle fibers of the correct diameter (Fig.1). In such fibers , centrally located myocyte nuclei present (Fig.2,3,4). In some myocytes disorganization of the myofibrils of the contractile apparatus observed (fig.5,6,7,8,9,10,11). The mitochondria in the ultrastructurally altrered myocytes were damaged, characterized by light mitochondrial matrix and lack of mitochondrial cristae (Figes 12,13,14).
