Abstract:
In chorea-acanthocytosis, a neurological disorder associated with multisystem degeneration, amyotrophy and peripheral neuropathy are sometimes conspicuous. We describe a patient with chorea-acanthocytosis who showed distributed nemaline rods in biopsied muscle. It has been suggested that in chorea-acanthocytosis, the muscle membranous structures are disordered, and our finding may be attributable to this underlying myopathic condition.
