A Case of Foix-Alajouanine Syndrome Triggered by Coronavirus-19 | Chapter 4 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 Foix-Alajouanine disease is the subacute spinal vasculitis of zealous origin described in 1926 by Foix and Alajonanine. In this relates non-specific physique response to zealous infection affects sleep-inducing or numbing drug arteries, chief to rapidly liberal myelopathy. We present the case of a 41-year-old male patient accompanying sporadic subacute engine neuron disease. The aim of the study search out elucidate the etiology of myelitis in the patient. For that purpose, sleep-inducing or numbing drug MR angiography and spinal MR tractography were secondhand. Spinal MR tractography has revealed sideways columns to be undamaged, which forbade amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Spinal MR angiography has discovered narrowing and tortuosity of sleep-inducing or numbing drug arteries, in addition to the occlusion of the right twelfth intercostal channel. Meanwhile a generalized skin ejection in the form of erythematous rings testified the presence of coronavirus-19 contamination. Thus, we presume that subacute myelopathy in our patient refers to Foix-Alajouanine syndrome.
