General Reactions of the
Motor unit

 Segmental demyelination
 Dysfunction of the Schwann cell or damage to the myelin
sheath
 Axonal degeneration and reinnervation of muscle
 Wallerian degeneration
 Denervation atrophy
 Reactions of the Muscle fiber
 Segmental necrosis
 Vacuolation, alterations in structural proteins or organelles,
and accumulation of intracytoplasmic deposits
 Regeneration
 Fiber hypertrophy

Inflammatory
Neuropathies

 Immune-mediated neuropathies
 Guillain-Barre syndrome (acute inflammatory
demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy)
 2/3 preceded by a flu-like illness
 Infections or prior vaccination
 Ascending paralysis
 Chronic inflammatory demyelinating
polyradiculoneuropathy
Infectious
Polyneuropathies

 Leprosy ( Hansen Disease)
 Diphtheria
 Varicella-Zoster Virus
Hereditary
Neuropathies

 Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies
 HMSN I – charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, peroneal muscular
atrophy, hypertrophic neuropathy
 HMSN II
 HMSN III – Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy
 Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies – Table
27-2
 Familial amyloid polyneuropathies – transthyretin gene
 Peripheral neuropathy accompanying inherited metabolic
disorders – Table 27-3
Acquired Metabolic and
Toxic Neuropathies

 Peripheral neuropathy in Adult-Onset DM
 Distal symmetric sensory or sensorimotor neuropathy, autonomic
neuropathy, focal or multifocal asymmetric neuropathy
 Metabolic and nutritional peripheral neuropathies




Uremic
Thiamine – neuropathic beriberi
Vitamin B12, B6, E
Alcoholism
 Neuropathies associated with malignancy
 Brachial plexopathy, obturator palsy, cranial nerve palsies,
polyradiculopathy, paraneoplastic
 Toxic neuropathies
 Industrial or environmental chemicals, biologic toxins, therapeutic
drugs, organic compounds
Traumatic Neuropathies

 Laerations
 Avulsions
 Traumatic neuroma
 Compression neuropathy ( entrapment)
 Carpal tunnel syndrome
 “Saturday night palsy
Diseases of Skeletal
Muscle

 Degeneration atrophy – Spinal muscular atrophy, panfascicular atrophy,
Werdnig-Hoffmann – floppy infant
 Muscular dystrophies
 Ion channel myopathies (Channelopathies)
 Hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, normokalemic periodic paralysis
 Malignant hyperpyrexia (hyperthermia)
 Congenital myopathies – Table 27-6
 Myopathies associated with inborn errors of metabolism
 Lipid and mitochondrial ( ragged red fibers and parking lot inclusions)
 Inflammatory myopathies – dermatomyositis, polymyositis, inclusion
body myositis
 Toxic myopathies – Thyrotoxic, ethanol, drug-induced
 Diseases of the neuromuscular junction – myasthenia gravis, LambertEaton
 Tumors of skeletal muscle – chapter 26
Muscular Dystrophies

 X-linked MD




Duchenne – more severe
Becker
Dystrophin mutations
Variations in fiber size, increased number of internalized
nuclei, degeneration, necrosis, and phagocytosis of muscle
fibers, regeneration of muscle fibers, proliferation of
endomysial connective tissue, muscle s eventually totally
replaced by fat and CT
 Other = Limb girdle MD
 Myotonic dystrophy
