RESUMO

Thirteen patients with Schistosoma mansoni myelopathy are reported. Neurologic syndromes included acute areflexic flaccid paraplegia (three), thoracic myelopathy with hyperreflexia and Babinski sign (six), and a cauda equina syndrome (four). Inflammatory granulomas and a schistosome worm in a leptomeningeal vein of the spinal cord were observed in the one patient coming to necropsy.

RESUMO

Patients with AIDS can present clinical involvement of the peripheral nervous system due to different causes. In the present work, it was studied the histopathological changes in sural nerve biopsy of fifteen patients with AIDS with this clinical involvement. It was observed the presence of a polyarteritis nodosa-like vasculitis of small arteries with fibrinoid necrosis in the sural nerve of 3 patients, one of them associated to polyradiculitis due to cytomegalovirus infection (CMV). Six patients presented mild axonal loss by light microscopy. Three other patients had a more important axonal neuropathy with myelin ovoids by teasing. By the electron microscopy in these patients were observed some fibers with axonal damage. The other three patients had normal sural nerves. We concluded that sural nerve biopsy may be important in peripheral neuropathies or myelo-radiculo-polyneuropathies in AIDS especially to search for nerve vasculitis, because it can change the therapeutic approach.

RESUMO

A 30 year-old male, with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) presented with rapidly progressive flaccid paraplegia and sphincter incontinence. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed elevated protein and pleocytosis. Death occurred 2 months after the onset of neurological signs. Post-mortem examination showed inflammatory necrotic lesions, relatively sparing the axons and predominantly involving the roots of the cord. Numerous cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion bodies were found in the necrotic lesions, in the subarachnoid spaces and in Schwann cells. CMV encephalitis and involvement of the 3rd cranial nerves were also observed. Only 8 well-documented clinico-pathological cases of acute CMV myeloradiculitis, which all presented as progressive cauda equina syndrome, have been reported until now in AIDS patients.

RESUMO

Seven cases of the Guillain-Barre syndrome seen at the University College Hospital of the West Indies are reported, including one fatality. The autopsy revealed peripheral and central nervous system lesions, as well as inflammatory lesions in other organs. Current concepts on aetiology are reviewed (AU)
