What are the common pathological findings on teased nerve fiber preparations?
With teased nerve fiber preparation, segmental demyelination, remyelination, or axonal degeneration is identified.
In segmental demyelination, the diameter of demyelinated segments is reduced.
In remyelination, the internodal length varies.
Axonal degeneration causes breakdown of myelin into “ovoids and balls”
