Acute Lyme neuropathy presenting with polyradicular pain, abdominal protrusion, and cranial neuropathy.

abstract：:Reinnervation of a free muscle graft by nerves from an adjacent intact muscle is called muscular neurotization. This paper investigates the mechanisms and stimuli responsible for muscular neurotization in the rat. Sternohyoid or sternomastoid muscles were transplanted as free muscle grafts to the ventral surface of an...
