title: [Giant-axon polyneuropathy (case report)].
abstract: In a girl aged 8 years with clinical manifestations of polyneuropathy histological examination of the sural nerve demonstrated segmental distension of axons. The characteristic appearance of her hair, signs of peripheral nervous system damage and morphological findings in the sural nerve made possible the diagnosis of giant-axon polyneuropathy.
