The morphologic changes of the spinal cord in Rett syndrome are described in 2 young women who died at 20 and 30 years of age. Both patients had been in a severely disabled state for many years with tetraparesis and extreme muscle wasting. Degeneration and loss of spinal ganglion nerve cells, in addition to gliosis of both the white and gray matter of the spinal cord, were evident. The number of motor neurons appeared to be reduced and axonal changes suggestive of degeneration were observed in both the ascending and descending tracts.
