Infectious pathogens can directly affect the spinal cord or trigger autoimmune reactions, which may result in permanent damage to cord structures. The most common aetiology comes from virus but depend on age, location of the patient and co-morbidities. Acute Flaccid paralysis and acute transverse myelitis are considered as emergencies.

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2012
Infections are an uncommon but very important etiology of myelitis as a correct diagnosis would allow for timely treatment and recovery. The term "myelitis" is generally used to describe an inflammatory pathologic process affecting the spinal cord and causing an interruption of the ascending and descending pathways, and, therefore, partial or complete ...

AbstractTransverse myelitis is a known complication of radiation treatment for carcinoma of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists treat patients who receive radiotherapy and should be familiar with this complication.During the past ten years there has been little or no mention made of this problem in the ENT literature.

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2012
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an etiologically heterogeneous syndrome with acute or subacute onset, in which inflammation of the spinal cord results in neurologic deficits, manifesting as weakness, sensory loss and autonomic dysfunction. It is frequently associated with infectious or systemic autoimmune diseases, but its etiology remains unknown ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) with moderate symptomatology and smaller multiple magnetic resonance imaging lesions is often caused by multiple sclerosis. Severe ATM with extensive magnetic resonance imaging lesions with or without associated meningitis often has a viral cause, particularly in the younger age groups, whereas vascular disorders may ...

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2021
Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is an incompletely understood neurologic disorder occurring in epidemic fashion causing weakness ranging from mild paresis to devastating paralysis in children and some adults. This article reviews the case definition of AFM as well as its epidemiology and association with enteroviral infection.

Mumps Myelitis—A Rare Cause of Myelitis
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and HygieneABSTRACT. This report presents a rare case of acute transverse myelitis (ATM) after mumps infection in a 33-year-old male. Symptoms included fever, parotid and scrotal swelling, and subsequent sensory-motor paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed long-segment spinal cord hyperintensity, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed pleocytosis and ...

Acute transverse myelitis is a monophasic disorder, the recurrence of which raises the question of multiple sclerosis (MS) or other multifocal CNS disease. We now report three patients with a previously undescribed syndrome of relapsing isolated acute transverse myelitis.

ABSTRACT Acute flaccid myelitis is a poliolike illness affecting mainly children, which seems to occur every 2 years in the late summer and early fall. The 2018 outbreak was alarming to parents and healthcare providers because the etiology is still under investigation and long-term outcomes are unclear.

Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis
Archives of Neurology, 2005R eports in the medical literature of “acute myelitis” date back to 1882 and are credited to H. C. Bastain, MD Lond, FRS, a consulting physician to what was then called University College Hospital and the National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic (London, England).
