From: Camptocormia as the presenting symptom in sporadic late onset nemaline myopathy: a case report
Clinical presentation, MR-imaging and muscle biopsy findings in the reported SLONM-patient. a Photograph depicts camptocormia while standing. b Representative transversal MR-images (T1 TSE tra) reveal diffuse and marked fatty atrophy of the thoracic (white arrowheads) and lumbar (black arrowheads) paraspinal musculature. Note moderate bilateral fatty atrophy of the antero-lateral part of the gluteus medius muscles and less marked of the gluteus minimus muscles (black arrows). c Histopathological analysis of Gomori trichrome stained section shows muscle fibers with multiple subsarcolemmal and sarcoplasmic nemaline rods (white arrows). Scale bar: 20 μm. d Electron microscopy detects multiple sarcoplasmatic electron-dense nemaline rods (black arrows). Scale bar: 1,2 μm
