The case is described of a 52 year old patient admitted for acauda equina compression syndrome (flaccid paraplegia of the lower limbs, bilateral lumbar and sciatic pains, urinary incontinence) of rapid onset and due to narrowing of the lumbar canal from tabetic arthropathy. These vertebral manifestations occur in a low percentage of tabetic arthropathies, which are relatively rare, and are not often accompanied by severe neurological disturbances. Decompressive laminectomy afforded rapid and lasting relief.
本文描述了一名52岁患者，因马尾神经受压综合征（下肢弛缓性截瘫、双侧腰腿痛、尿失禁）入院，该综合征起病迅速，病因是梅毒性关节病导致腰椎管狭窄。这些脊柱表现见于梅毒性关节病的比例较低，梅毒性关节病相对少见，且并不常伴有严重的神经功能障碍。减压性椎板切除术带来了迅速且持久的缓解。
