ABSTRACT

There are many neuropathies with abnormal deposits. Most of them are rare and require ultrastructural electron microscopic study, which is beyond the scope of this book. Readers can find an excellent treatise on this subject in several books.1-3 Amyloid neuropathy, metachromatic neuropathy, polyglucosan body neuropathy, Fabry’s disease, and adrenomyeloneuropathy are discussed in this chapter because these disorders can be diagnosed confidently without any ultrastructural electron microscopic study.
