Syphylitical Myelopathies: Study of 8 observations at National Hospital Ignace Deen, University of Conakry
Introduction: Myelopathies occurring in the context of neurosyphilis have been poorly studied clinically, radiologically and in tropical settings. The diagnostic certainty of the syphilitic etiology of myelopathy is difficult to establish because of the multiplicity of causes of spinal cord damage. Patients and Methods: We carried out a retrospective study of 269 patients hospitalized for spinal cord disorders between January 2015 and December 2021, among whom 8 (eight) patients were identified for progressive syphilitic myelopathy diagnosed by the positivity of VDRL-TPHA serological reactions in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid and radiological data. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in all patients. Results: The neurological signs were limited to the existence of a sensory-motor spinal semiology in particular, paraparesis with sphincter disorders, especially moderate urinary disorders, without an obvious infectious syndrome in a context of positive serological reactions VDRL-TPHA in the blood and cerebrovascular fluid. spinal. Lumbar puncture shows hypercellularity with lymphocyte predominance on average 65% and hyperproteinorachia varying from 0.98 to 1.36 g/l. magnetic resonance imaging performed in all patients contributed to the diagnosis by showing hypersignals in T2, expression of more or less extensive lesions on several segments.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
