Atopic dermatitis could be a risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration.
2003 MAR 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Atopic dermatitis could be a risk factor for intervertebral disc degeneration.
"Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergic disease that has recently been reported to be complicated with acute myelitis. To clinically evaluate the occurrence of myelitis in AD, 65 consecutive AD patients were neurologically examined. Of these, 37 underwent cervical MRI scans," researchers in Japan reported.
"Unexpectedly, the neurologic and MRI findings did not suggest myelitis, but rather, in most cases, cervical spordylosis. Therefore, we assessed the relationship between AD and cervical spondylosis," remarked S. Ito and colleagues, Chiba University, Department of Neurology.
"In addition, cervical MRI findings in 26 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in 12 normal controls were also evaluated. The neurologic examinations in the AD patients frequently showed hyperreflexia in the legs, and sensory and motor disturbances were often present in the limbs. Cervical MRI findings suggestive of spordylosis, such as intervertebral disc degeneration and bulging/protrusion, were found more frequently in AD patients than in MS patients, with statistical significance," they reported.
