Final reports are faxed and final copies are mailed. Written reports indicate patient information, accession number, slide/blocks examined, stains performed and interpretation. Please feel free to contact us directly to discuss a case. For consultation on muscle and nerve biopsies see the Muscular Dystrophy/Muscle Biopsy site.

Requisition for Neurosurgical Consultations: Anatomic Pathology Requisition
General Recommendations when Sending a Case: Please provide us with your complete or incomplete pathology report (including gross description), H&E glass slides, and pertinent special or IHC stains. The clinical diagnosis and radiographic appearance greatly aid in interpreting CNS disease. Please provide the pre-operative imaging report or CD with images with the case. If possible, historical and laboratory information would be greatly appreciated and may enhance the consultative opinion.
