Definition / general Neurogenic type atrophy is a descriptive diagnosis that has multiple different etiologies; underlying etiology generally cannot be further elucidated by the muscle biopsy itself and needs clinicopathologic or radiologic correlation [pathologyoutlines.com]

The diversity of etiological factors makes it prudent to have a high index of suspicion for evaluation of appropriate etiology as discussed in this case series. Early identification will avoid prolonged ventilation and allows appropriate counseling. [annalsofian.org]
