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

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
