First Case

Background: Although neurological complications are well recognized in sickle cell disease (SCD), myelopathy has been rarely described. We present the first case report of longitudinally extensive myelitis (LETM) in SCD and review the differential diagnosis of myelopathy in these patients. Design and setting: case-oriented review. Methods: We report the case of a 29-year-old African-Brazilian man with SCD, who experienced a subacute flaccid paraparesis, with T2 sensory level and urinary retention. CSF analysis showed a lymphocytic pleocytosis and increased protein levels. MRI disclosed a longitudinally extensive spinal cord lesion, with a high T2/STIR signal extending from C2 to T12. Serum anti-aquaporin-4 antibody was negative. We searched Medline/ PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases for myelopathy in SCD patients. Results: Spinal cord compression by vertebral fractures, extramedullary hematopoietic tissue, and Salmonella epidural abscess have been reported in SCD. We found only three case reports of spinal cord infarction, which is unexpectedly infrequent compared to the prevalence of cerebral infarction in SCD. We found only one case report of varicella-zoster myelitis and no previous report of LETM in SCD patients. Conclusion: Specific and time-sensitive causes of myelopathy should be considered in SCD patients. In addition to compression and ischemia, LETM should be considered as a possible mechanism of spinal cord involvement in SCD.
