Surg Neurol. 1982 Oct;18(4):237-40. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(82)90330-5.

Abstract

The case of a 40-year-old patient with Dejerine-Sottas disease, who developed spinal cord compression from hypertrophic nerve roots, is presented. Six previously reported cases are reviewed. We discuss the characteristic myelographic changes seen in Dejerine-Sottas disease.
