Summary
A Schwann cell can form only one internode of myelin around an axon. However, we observed the formation by a single Schwann cell of myelin around two axons of different diameters in the sural nerve of a 45-year-old man with mononeuritis multiplex. Schwann cell processes spiraled in the same direction around each axon, forming mesaxons. The findings in this case appear to be an undescribed type of aberrant myelination.
