[An autopsy case of Degos disease with neurological symptoms--neuropathological observations and increased platelet aggregation].
Rinshō Shinkeigaku = Clinical Neurology 1992 January
We reported clinical and neuropathological observations of a 41-year-old man with Degos disease. He first noted painless skin lesions over the upper extremities in January, 1982. Three years later he was diagnosed as Degos disease by skin biopsy, and treatment with aspirin was started. In September, 1985, he complained of paresthesia on his right arm, followed by a series of new neurological manifestations suggesting multifocal spinal cord lesions. On October 28, examination of admission showed papules with central umblication over the whole body except the head, face, palms, soles and scrotum. Neurological examination revealed no weakness, diminished right biceps reflex, exaggerated patellar reflexes and Achilles reflexes, left extensor plantar reflex, hypesthesia and hypalgesia to the level of Th8, mild left spastic gait, and retention of urine. In November, he had paraparesis, loss of vibration sense of lower extremities, hypesthesia and hypalgesia to the level of TH4, and weakness of right upper extremity. In December, he showed tetraplegia, left-sided facial palsy, and hypesthesia and hypalgesia to the level of C5. In January, 1986, he showed right facial palsy, left facial hypesthesia, pseudobulbar palsy. In February, he had bilateral abducens nerve palsy and hiccups. On February 18, he died of intracranial hemorrhages. He had episodic abdominal pain several times during admission. His condition deteriorated progressively in four months after the first manifestation of neurological symptoms, despite the therapy with heparin, urokinase, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, and prednisolone. Laboratory studies showed gradual increase of CSF proteins (from 156 mg/dl to 602 mg/dl) and extremely increased platelet aggregation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
