INTRODUCTION: Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is associated with formation of polyglucosan bodies in peripheral nerve branches. Some muscle biopsies show these inclusions in intramuscular nerve branches. It has not been established whether the presence of multiple polyglucosan bodies in intramuscular peripheral nerve branches could or should suggest testing for APBD. METHODS: Fifteen muscle biopsies from...
