biopsy results

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I recieved preliminary results on my recent biopsy and was wondering

if anyone has an idea of what this means...increase in

subsarcolemmal mitochondriasl aggregates and increase in

subsarcolemmal crescents both in scattered muscle fibers. Anything

I look up takes me to muscular dystrophy pages but no real

definitions. I won't get to talk to my neuro for a while and am

curious.

THanks

Here's a little of what I found associated with Dr Cohen. He's going to chat with us again in February so if you are still unsure by then - you might try coming to chat to see if he can help you.

and some information on subsarcolemmal crescents

You may have to copy and paste the second link into your address line. It is a PDF file so you need Adobe to read it. Part of it is actually in Chinese.

Hope these articles help.
