An Unusual Spinal Presentation of Whipple Disease AJNR 22:1004-1008, Messori,,A.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract When Whipple disease (WD) is confined to the CNS, diagnosis may be difficult. We report a case of WD with spinal presentation in an otherwise healthy woman who had a 5-year history of relapsing-remitting cervicothoracic myelopathy. We sugg est that the diagnosis of WD should be considered in the presence of an enlarged and enhancing spinal cord even in the absence of any systemic involvement.
