Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Tabes Dorsalis? Tabes dorsalis is a slow degeneration of the nerve cells and nerve fibers that carry sensory information to the brain. The degenerating nerves are in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body) and carry information that help maintain a person’s sense of position. Tabes dorsalis is the result of an untreated syphilis infection. Symptoms may not appear for some decades after the initial infection and include weakness, diminished reflexes, unsteady gait, progressive degeneration of the joints, loss of coordination, episodes of intense pain and disturbed sensation, personality changes, dementia, deafness, visual impairment, and impaired response to light. The disease is more frequent in males than in females. Onset is commonly during mid-life. The incidence of tabes dorsalis is rising, in part due to co-associated HIV infection.

Diagnosis: 1) Tabes Dorsalis 2) Ectatic basilar artery A Review of Tabes Dorsalis Amit Verma, M.B.B.S. Chief Resident, Department of Neurology Tabes Dorsalis is a late meningoradiculitis caused by treponema pallidum Epidemiology Pathogenesis Pathology In the early stages, a lymphocytic and mononuclear infiltrate is seen in the meninges. These inflammatory reactions may involve the cranial nerves and can cause degeneration of the axons. When the inflammation involves small meningeal vessels, proliferation of the endothelial lining occurs, resulting in vascular compromise and infarction of brain and spinal cord tissue. Similar findings are seen in tabes dorsalis where the inflammation of meninges and blood vessels is followed by degeneration of the posterior roots and posterior fiber columns of the spinal cord and, sometimes changes are seen in the cranial nerves. This explains the multiple symptoms seen in this disease. The pathological hallmark of the disease is inflammation of the meninges and the nerve roots. The lower spinal cord roots are most commonly involved. There is atrophy and loss of myelinated fibers in the posterior columns, secondary to root pathology. In late untreated cases the inflammation spreads to the anterior roots and atrophy may then be seen in the distribution of the affected roots. Clinical Features The disease is sometimes called progressive locomotor ataxia. The varied clinical features represent the extent of involvement of the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. The initial symptoms consist of diplopia due to paralysis of the 3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerves, irregular pupils, paresthesia and hyperesthesia. Pupillary abnormalities are present in 90% of patients. The characteristic pupillary abnormality, which is seen 50 percent of the time, is the

Other characters Neurosyphilis, After a dramatic decrease following the introduction of antibiotic therapy, the spirochaete Treponema pallidum disease, syphilis, and its CNS manifestations have recently undergone an increase in incidence mostly as a consequence of AIDS. In the AIDS population up to 13% of patients are positive to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) tests. Without therapy, 510% of patients develop clinical evidence of neurosyphilis. The CNS manifestations of syphilis can be broadly classified into meningeal and parenchymal. Meningeal manifestations range from the acute and more subtle and chronic forms of meningitis and meningoencephalitis up to the formation of circumscribed masses. These gummas are composed, similarly to those in all other sites in the body, of granulation tissue surrounded by mononuclear epithelial and fibroblastic cells and, intracranially, usually located over the cerebral convexities, adherent to both dura and brain parenchyma. Parenchymal manifestations include two types of vasculitis, respectively Heubner's and Nissl's endarteritis, the former affecting large and medium-sized arteries with resultant irregular luminal narrowing and ectasia, the latter primarily involving small vessels in which a luminal narrowing occurs as a consequence of intense proliferation of endothelial and adventitial cells. Vascular neurosyphilis may present with focal neurological deficits as a consequence of arterial occlusion. For so-called meningovascular syphilis the usual interval of infection to symptom onset in the general population is 5 to 10 years.
