Abstract
The sural nerve of a 9‐month‐lod infant with Pompe's disease revealed lysosomal and free cytoplasmic glycogen in almost every cell type. Glycogen was combined with lipofuscinlike material in Schwann cells of unmyelinated axons. Proliferation of axonal constituents indicated mild damage to axons.

A case of anomalous innervation of the abductor digiti quinti of the foot (ADQ) via the sural nerve is described. A muscle action potential from the ADQ could be elicited by stimulation of both the sural and the posterior tibial nerves.
