In the 10-dimensional pp-waves background we have found using T-duality a 4-dimensional space-time in which closed time-like curves appear in the region bounded by two coaxial elliptic cylinders. This 4-dimensional space-time is similar to the Gödel-type space-time only in this region. Outside of this region the causal pathology does not appear.
