Central motor conduction in human chronic Chagas' disease

Abstract: The possible involvement of spinal alpha motor neurons, dorsal root ganglia and sensory fibers in human chronic Chagas' disease was previously demonstrated. More recently neuropsychological and sensory evoked potentials studies suggest the existence of central nervous system abnormalities in these patients. We assessed the state of central motor pathways in 46 patients with chronic Chagas' disease and 30 healthy volunteers by means of percutaneous cortical and spinal electrical stimulation. No significative sl… Show more

“…Se observan, además, infiltrados granulomatosos perivasculares y lesiones desmielinizantes multifocales (65,66). Se ha detectado, también, una neuropatía desmielinizante con áreas de remielinización, tanto en los nervios motores como en los sensitivos (67)(68)(69)(70), que confirman algunos de estos hallazgos con estudios de neuroconducción (70).…”
