A 50 year old woman developed progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity over a three year period. Her CSF contained oligoclonal bands and both her serum and CSF contained antibodies directed against GABA-ergic synapses (antiglutamic acid decarboxylase [corrected] antibodies). These antibodies have recently been described in cases of stiff man syndrome. Both disorders may be part of a clinical spectrum that has an underlying autoimmune basis.
一名50岁女性在三年时间里出现了伴有僵硬的进行性脑脊髓炎。她的脑脊液中含有寡克隆带,其血清和脑脊液中均含有针对γ-氨基丁酸能突触的抗体(抗谷氨酸脱羧酶抗体)。最近在僵人综合征病例中描述了这些抗体。这两种疾病可能是具有潜在自身免疫基础的临床谱系的一部分。
