This disease develops upon infiltration of HTLV-1-infected lymphocytes into the central nervous system, mostly the thoracicspinalcord.
2
Background: Ventral lesions of upper thoracicspinalcord due to degenerative diseases are rare and often have poor operative outcomes.
3
Conclusion: In a rat thoracicspinalcord contusion model, we observed that sacral neuromodulation did not prevent SCI-induced myelin loss and apoptosis.

This disease is the consequence of the infiltration of HTLV-1-infected lymphocytes into the central nervous system (CNS), mostly the thoracicspinalcord.

Thoracic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed diffused thoracicspinalcord thickening and extensively intramedullary T2 hyper intensity areas.
