I.はじめに
糖尿病性仮性脊髄癆はAlthaus 18851),Pavy 18852)等の業績によつてその概念がたてられたのであるが,近時糖尿病の罹患者が世界的に増え,糖尿病治療の進歩にともない壮老年者についての観察が精密になるにつれ,糖尿病と心血管系疾患との関連が注目されるようになつてきたので,糖尿病性ノイロパチーの中にあつても特殊な病状を示す本疾患への注視がつよく高まつてきた。しかし実際には本症はぎわめてまれで,Woltman & WilderのMayo Clinicでの調査19293)によれば2000例の糖尿病患者中から4例見出されたにすぎないという。
本症の場合最近もつとも問題になつている点は,病変が脊髄性か末梢性かの問題である。19世紀初頭時代の病理組織学的研究においては脊髄後索にグリオーゼ,血管新生,組織の薄化等の変化をみとめた報告が少くない(Williamson 18944),19045),Souques & Marinesco 18976),Henson 18977),Schweiger 19078))。後索のみでなく側索の変化も合併して亜急性連合性脊髄変性に類似した例もあり(Sandmeyer 18929),Naunyn 190010)),脊髄前角の運動神経細胞の変化も見出されている(Nonne 189611),Bonardi 189712),Marinesco 190113))。
Two typical cases of diabetic tabes were reported.
The first case was a 50-year-old Japanese and the second was a 45-year-old Korean. Value of blood-sugar by empty stomach and urine sugar at our first examination were in the first case 488mg/dl and 62.7g/day, while in the second 223.5mg/dl and 3.4g/day.
Among many characteristic signs of diabe-tic pseudotabes, especially noteworthy were the facts, that in two cases the proprioce-ptive sensation is far more severely affected than the exteroceptive and there was a sharp difference in grade. So ataxia was very re-markable. In both cases muscle atrophy of lower extremities, especially that of M. ti-bialis anterior of the first case, was notable.
In the first case Mendel-Bechterew and Rossolimo reflexes were positive and para-dox thermal sensation was observed. In the second case mal perforant de pied which was resistent to the cure appeared during the hospitalisation.
