  • Title: Demyelinating hereditary neuropathies in children: a morphometric and ultrastructural study.
    Author: Guzzetta F, Rodríguez J, Deodato M, Guzzetta A, Ferrière G.
    Journal: Histol Histopathol; 1995 Jan; 10(1):91-104. PubMed ID: 7756749.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-three cases of hereditary demyelinating neuropathies are reported, 13 with different types of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) and 9 with globoid cell or meta-chromatic leucodystrophies. Ultrastructural and morpho-metric studies showed some critical pathological features emphasizing: 1) the variability of the recessive forms of HMSN; 2) the morphological distinction between HMSN type I and type III; and 3) differences between these types of HMSN and other "onion bulb" neuropathies such as those found in leucodystrophies, which account for distinct underlying mechanisms.
