  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Eight cases of HTLV-I associated myelopathy (male: 1, female: 7) including an autopsy case were reported. The main clinical manifestations were spastic paraparesis with pyramidal signs, urinary disturbance and slight sensory disturbances. Examination of cerebrospinal fluid revealed slight increase of cell count, protein and γ-globulin levels and positive oligoclonal IgG bands. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid antibodies against HTLV-I were positive. ATL-like atypical lymphocytes were detected in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

 Neuropathology of one fatal case, which had blood transfusion 6 months prior to the onset, showed atrophy of spinal cord especially the thoracic cord. The most striking changes, in both the white and grey matter, were the marked proliferation of capillaries, perivascular cuffing with lymphocytes, and loss of myelin and axon. There were also proliferation of gemistocytic astrocytes and infiltration of foamy macrophages. These changes were severer in the lateral and anterior columns. Perivascular cuffing with lymphocytes were also seen in the medulla, pons, cerebellum and cerebral white matter. In the subarachnoid space, collagenous thickning and partial adhesion with lymphocytic infiltration were observed. Blood vessels, particularly small veins, in the cord and the subarachnoid space showed hyalinoid thickening of media and adventitia associated with intramedial and intra- and periadventitial lymphocytic infiltration.
