Acute Respiratory Failure in Multiple Sclerosis

A 23-year-old woman developed acute respiratory failure in the course of multiple sclerosis. The lack of bulbar dysfunction, the presence of quadriplegia, and the bilateral diaphragmatic weakness indicated the presence of spinal cord lesions involving pyramidal tracts bilaterally. Magnetic resonance...

Zusammenfassung:	A 23-year-old woman developed acute respiratory failure in the course of multiple sclerosis. The lack of bulbar dysfunction, the presence of quadriplegia, and the bilateral diaphragmatic weakness indicated the presence of spinal cord lesions involving pyramidal tracts bilaterally. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cervical demyelinating lesion between C1 and C3. (Chest 1990; 97:246-48)
