Apparently it this -
A neurological disease with great variability of symptoms, characterized
by degenerative changes in the white matter of the spinal cord
associated with pernicious anaemia. Onset is usually insidious with
weakness, fatigue, and dyspnoea or exertion. Other symptoms may include
paralysis of the legs and arms, with tremor present when there is
increase in muscle tone (static tremor), and in movement (kinetic or
intentional); myalgia, oedema of the feet and ankles, numbness and
tingling in the distal portions of the extremities, glossitis, headache,
malaise, and peculiar gait. Early and recurrent mental disorders with
hallucinations or a type of dementia paralytica have been seen in
patients when the onset of the syndrome was sudden.
Condition widely disseminated, but more common in blond Nordic people.
Both sexes affected. Average onset at 50 years of age and later in women
than men. Autosomal dominant inheritance.

Hi Kath
My medical dictionary defines this term as "myelosis with degenerative
areas in the white matter of the spinal cord". It does not mention
anything about B12 deficiency which will eventually produce peripheral
neuropathy. It sounds a bit confusing to me, maybe you need to get some
translation done form the original doctors report.

I have a client with funicular myelosis (a B12 deficiency syndrome.) .
MRI shows "inhanced signal on three scans in the posterior part of the
spine" (I am working in Hungary the Drs English isnt perfect). She is
an editor, spends long stretches at PC, this morning she has noticed her
grip being affected and has started to drop things. I can t find much re
progression/prognosis on googling. Anyone know anything?
Best Wishes
Kath
