[D-Penicillamine treatment of painful lumbar syndromes caused by arachnoiditis].
The authors have been treating with a synthetic D penicillamine 12 patients affected with pains in the lumbar region or lumbosciaticas imputed to duroarachnoiditis in connection with surgical procedure or/and radiculosacography. The diagnosis is based on clinical arguments (3 cases), clinical and radiological arguments (radiculosacography : 3, phlebography : 3) and on surgical arguments (3 cases). The findings are good 5 times and incomplete twice. There are 4 failures and 3 interruption of treatment out of 6 intolerances. The effect of penicillamine upon collagen could perhaps be the explanation of these results.
