Descriptor	tabes dorsal
Entry term(s)	ataxia locomotriz ataxia locomotriz progresiva mielosífilis sífilis de la columna vertebral sífilis de la médula espinal
Scope note:	NEUROSÍFILIS parenquimatosa caracterizada por la degeneración lenta y progresiva de los cordones posteriores, las raíces posteriores y los ganglios de la médula espinal. La afección tiende a presentarse 15 a 20 años después de la infección inicial y se caracteriza por dolores con sensación de ligereza en las extremidades inferiores, INCONTINENCIA URINARIA, ATAXIA, alteración grave del sentido de la posición y de las vibraciones, marcha anormal (ver TRASTORNOS NEUROLÓGICOS DE LA MARCHA), ATROFIA ÓPTICA, pupilas de Argyll-Robertson, hipotonía, hiperreflexia y degeneración trófica de las articulaciones (articulación de Charcot; ver ARTROPATÍA NEURÓGENA).

Scope note:

Parenchymatous NEUROSYPHILIS marked by slowly progressive degeneration of the posterior columns, posterior roots, and ganglia of the spinal cord. The condition tends to present 15 to 20 years after the initial infection and is characterized by lightening-like pains in the lower extremities, URINARY INCONTINENCE; ATAXIA; severely impaired position and vibratory sense, abnormal gait (see GAIT DISORDERS, NEUROLOGIC), OPTIC ATROPHY; Argyll-Robertson pupils, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, and trophic joint degeneration (Charcot's Joint; see ARTHROPATHY, NEUROGENIC). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p726)
