Symposium on the non-skeletal phase of chronic fluorosis: The spinal cord

January 1976 | Fluoride | Franke J. | 9(1):30-32.
The author presents evidence of damage to the spinal cord in skeletal fluorosis. Since pressure on the cord by osteophytes was ruled out, direct action of fluoride on cord tissue is likely to be responsible for this condition. Neurological complications of skeletal fluorosis have been described in endemic areas, especially in lndia. They consist of radiculomyelopathy which may lead to spastic tetraplegia. We wish to present evidence of neurological complications in a 60 year-old male who had

The Joints

January 1976 | Fluoride | Teotia SPS, Teotia M, Teotia NPS. | 9(1):19-24.
... In early stages, fluorosis is usually associated only with stiffness, backache, and joint pains which may suggest the diagnosis of rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and osteomalacia. At this stage the radiological findings of skeletal fluorosis may not be evident and therefore most of these cases are eithe rmisdiagnosed for other kinds of arthritis or the patients are treated symptomatically for pains of undetermined diagnosis (PUD). The majority of our patients had re
