[Transmission electron microscope observation of morbid nerve segments in neurocausalgia].
The authors report the observations by TEM of morbid nerve segment from 3 cases of typical neurocausalgia. It was discovered that a lot of collagen fibrils proliferation, myelin sheaths compressed partly or completely disintegrated and exposed axons. A great number of no myelinic nerve fibers, remained and a great number of macrophages were present, which are morphological characteristics of neurocausalgia.
