Abstract
In chorea‐acanthocytosis, a neurological disorder associated with multisystem degeneration, amyotrophy and peripheral neuropathy are sometimes conspicuous. We describe a patient with chorea‐acanthocytosis who showed distributed nemaline rods in biopsied muscle. It has been suggested that in chorea‐acanthocytosis, the muscle membranous structures are disordered, and our finding may be attributable to this underlying myopathic condition.
