The discuss on clinical and pathological features of nemaline myopathy
Abstract：Nemaline myopathy is a rare congenital myopathy.Here we report the clinical features, laboratory examination and pathologic findings of an adult myopathy patient.Most myofibers containing large number of nemaline rod bodies emanated from the Z- discs were observed by electron microscope,so that the patient was finally diagnosed late- onset NM by muscle biopsy.In adult patients with proximal muscle weakness, especially in those with underlying immunologic disorders, a modified Gomori's trichrome stain on cryostat sections with possible confirmatory electron microscopy should be performed in order to prevent misdiagnosis. Functional training for these patients in the early stage will improve the prognosis.
