Neuropatia na miopatia miotubular ou centronuclear

Abstract
A detailed electrophysiological study has been made of the extensor digitorum brevis, thenar, hypothenar and soleus muscles in one patient with myotubular or centronuclear myopathy. The main finding was a noticeable reduction in the population of active motor units in all the investigated muscles. The remainer units showed normal sizes. The experimental observations have been interpreted in terms of a neuropathic process.
