I. 총론
II. 다발성 경화증(Multiple sclerosis)
III. 시 신경염(Optic neuritis)
IV. 급성 횡단성 척수염(Acute transverse myelitis)
V.급성 파종성 뇌척수염(Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis)
I. 총론
1. Myelin
Proteolipid membrane that ensheathes and surrounds nerve axons to conduct nerve action potential
Myelin producing cell: oligodenrocyte
Loss of myelin(demyelination) make it impossible to conduct action potential
2. Disease of CNS myelin
1) Idiopathic(autoimmune?)
Multiple sclerosis: recurrent or progressive
Monophasic demyelination
Optic neuritis
Transverse myelitis
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
2) Inherited metabolic
Restricted to central myelin
Adrenaloleukodystrophy
Alexander's disease
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
Central and peripheral myelin
Metachromic leukodystrophy
Krabbe's globoid cell leukodystrophy
3) Infectious
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
HIV, HTLV-1 associated myelopathy
II. 다발성 경화증(Multiple sclerosis)
1. 정의
Chronic disease with multiple areas of CNS white matter inflammation, demyelination, and glial scarring(sclerosis)
Most patients begin with relapsing and remitting symptoms
Table 1. Initial sx of MS Table 2. Sx not suggesting MS
-> Lesions are multiple in time and space
2. 원인
Unknown
Genetic susceptibility + environmental factor with autoimmune mechanism
3. 임상 양상
1) epidemiology
Age: peak at 20-30 years(usually 10-60 years)
Incidence: female>male(1.4-3.1:1)
High prevalence area: northern Europe, northern US, Canada(30/100,000)
Low prevalence area: Japan, China, South America(5/100,000)
Associated with latitude(high latitude-incidence↑)
2) 증상과 징후- table 1.2참조
Symptom |
Onset before age 10years or after age 55years |
Prominent early dementia |
Aphasia |
Impaired consciousness |
Seizures |
Nonscotomatous visual field defect |
Uveitis |
Extrapyramidal findings |
Fasiculation |
A: relapsing-remitting
B: relapsing-remitting
C: secondary-progressive
D: secondary-progressive
E: primary-progressive
F: primary-progressive
G: progressive-relapsing
Figure 1. example of MRI in MS
4. 검사
No pathogonomic test for MS
1) MRI
Most helpful(multiple white matter lesions in 90% of patient), but not specific
2) 뇌척수액 검사
Mild lymphocytic pleocytosis(5-20 cells/mm3), slightly increased protein in 50%
Increased IgG synthesis in 70%
Oligoclonal band (+) in 90%
Myelin basic protein
3) 유발 전위 검사(Evoked potential)
Great value in demonstrating clinically unsuspected lesions
: Visual evoked potential, Brainstem auditory evoked potential, Somatosensory evoked potential
Figure 2. example of VEP
5. MS in Korean people
Optico-spinal form(Devic's syndrome) MS ↑
6. 치료
Solumedrol pulse: acute stage of disease attack
Interferon beta: lesion burden, attak rate and severity↓
III. 시 신경염(Optic neuritis)
1. 임상 양상
Abrupt(usually over 2-3 days) loss of vision d/t optic nerve demyelination
Eyeball pain, papillitis, loss of color vision(achromatopsia)
2. 감별 진단: numerous condition may resemble optic neuritis
Ischemic optic neuropathy: sudden onset, old age, painless
Compressive lesion: slow progressive
Leber's hereditary optic atrophy: abrupt, progressive, bilateral visual loss in young age
Drug induced(e.g. methyl alcohol), nutritional
3. Relationship with MS
Initial sx of MS in approximately 17% of patient
Risk of developing MS: 30-60%
Risk factor of developing MS: abnormal cranial MRI, female, age<40, oligoclonal band
IV. 급성 횡단성 척수염(Acute transverse myelitis)
1. 원인
Idiopathic, postvaccinial, postinfectious, HIV, SLE, syphilis, etc
2. 임상 양상
Acute-subacute onset motor/sensory/sphincter dysfunction
Should exclude compressive lesion of spinal cord
3. Relationship between idiopathic transverse myelitis and MS
Initial sx of MS in less than 5% of patient( in Korea ↑?)
Risk of developing MS: less than 10%
V. 급성 파종성 뇌척수염(Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis)
1. 원인
Post-infectious(after 4-6days): measles, rubella, mumps, varicella, influenza, etc
Post-vaccinial(after 10-14days): measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, rabies
2. 병태 생리
Virus may trigger immune-mediated reaction against CNS myelin
Similar to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis
3. 임상 양상
Any portion of CNS may be affected-> variable clinical syndrome
Meningeal involvement: headache, neck stiffness
Encephalitic form: coma, convulsion, hemiplegia, aphasia
Cranial nerve palsy: esp, optic neuritis
Acute cerebellar ataxia
Acute transverse myelopathy
