Abstract
Target fibers are generally considered a specific indicator of denervating disease. We found large numbers of target fibers in a biceps biopsy from a patient with MS and spastic quadriparesis. There was no evidence of denervation. Target fibers are not seen only in denervation.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
