Abstract:
Muscle and nerve biopsy may be vital diagnostic tools in various neuromuscular disorders. Since these procedures are invasive, it matters to decide when to perform a biopsy, which muscle or nerve to be selected, and how to interpret the pathologies. This review addresses the indications, methods of biopsies, and also significant pathological findings frequently encountered in muscle and nerve pathology.
