Transverse myelitis

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 ...

Myelitis

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 ...

Acute Flaccid Myelitis

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 Hygiene
ABSTRACT. 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 ...

Relapsing transverse myelitis

Neurology, 1991
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.

Acute Flaccid Myelitis

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2019
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.

HERPES ZOSTER MYELITIS

Brain, 1991
We studied the clinical (10 patients) and pathological (9 patients) findings in 13 patients with herpes zoster myelitis, all of whom had systemic illnesses associated with immunosuppression. The median interval between the onset of the herpes zoster rash and myelopathic symptoms was 12 days, and the subsequent median interval to maximal deficit was 10 ...

Parainfectious conus myelitis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1998
We describe electroclinical and imaging features of a peculiar type of parainfectious myelitis that selectively involves the conus/epiconus region of the spinal cord. Twelve patients of parainfectious myelitis with MRI evidence of inflammatory lesions in the conus/epiconus region of the spinal cord were studied. All patients underwent full clinical and

A tropical myelitis

Neurological Sciences
Spinal cord inflammation is a rare presentation of schistosomiasis infection. The present report describes the case of a young patient presenting subacute medullary symptoms revealing extensive longitudinal myelitis related to schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. The diagnosis was based on detection of parasite eggs in stool.
