Muscle and Peripheral Nerve

  • Chapter
Paediatric Pathology

  • 64 Accesses

Abstract

The development of new techniques for the histological study of muscle and peripheral nerve has led to fresh concepts of the pathogenesis and classification of these disorders, and to a more rational and hopeful approach to both diagnosis and treatment. Naturally, new problems and controversies have also arisen.
