Target fibers in multiple sclerosis: implications for pathogenesis.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Target fibers, typically linked to denervation, were found in a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) and spastic quadriparesis without any signs of nerve damage. This suggests target fibers may not solely indicate denervation.
