  • Title: [Angiodysgenetic necrotizing myelopathy (the Foix-Alajouanine syndrome)].
    Author: Aleksandrov SV, Morgunov VA, Adarcheva LS.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1991; 53(5):55-9. PubMed ID: 1883277.
    Abstract:
    One observation of a rare disease--angiodysgenetic necrotizing myelopathy--in a 50-year-old patient is described. The diagnosis was established at necropsy and did not confirm suspected spinal cord tumor and myelitis. The disease is angiodysplasia with resulting necrotizing myelopathy. Large dysplastic intra- and extramedullary vessels with a disturbed wall permeability, vascular malformations and necrotic foci in the spinal cord are characteristic for this condition.
