Abstract:Purpose: Reversible aggravation of myelopathy symptoms was observed after the intake of taurine-rich foods in patients with venous congestive myelopathy (VCM) caused by a spinal arteriovenous shunt (SAVS), and the taurine-challenge test was applied to demonstrate an association between taurine and VCM.Materials and Methods: The current study reviewed any aggravation history of myelopathy symptoms, including walking difficulty, after consuming taurine-rich foods among 133 consecutive patients with a SAVS from a… Show more

Taurine is known to be a representative one and is contained in some energy drinks and also in some seafood [ 8 ]. Aggravation lasts for about 3 hours, and then patients recover slowly after taking rest.…”
