title: Accumulation of glycogen in sural nerve axons in adult-onset type III glycogenosis.
abstract: A 42-year-old man with adult-onset type III glycogenosis (Cori's disease) developed a gradually progressive polyneuropathy with markedly reduced activity of muscle amylo-1,6-glucosidase and glycogen accumulation within all elements of biopsied sural nerve, including axons, as shown by ultrastructural assessment.
