| Description | Axial myopathy is a rare neuromuscular disease entity affecting paraspinal musculature. It is characterized by progressive weakness of spinal extensor muscles, fatty replacement of the affected muscle, and pathological abnormalities in muscle biopsy. It could be predominant constituting the major part of myopathy or widespread to involve other skeletal muscles. It can also be a separate condition (myopathy with predominant axial involvement) or a part of other myopathic dystrophy diseases. Because normal paraspinal muscle mimics myopathic patterns in histology, muscle biopsy from axial muscles is not usually recommended. In this chapter, we define the axial myopathies and their subtypes and the diagnostic challenge in muscle biopsy. Book Name: Neuromuscular Pathology Made Easy |
