Abstract
Chronic progressive myelopathy is a clinical entity with few neuropathological studies. The most frequent diagnosis in necropsied cases is multiple sclerosis. A case of chronic progressive myleopathy is described with a 16-yr course in a woman who was 28 yr old at the onset of the disease. At necropsy, there was chorionic inflammation in the CNS with predominant involvement of the spinal cord with diffuse myelin loss and axonal degeneration.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
