Transverse Myelitis in a Middle-Aged Patient: A Case Report
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare inflammatory disease affecting the spinal cord, leading to motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions.This condition can be idiopathic or secondary to various etiologies, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and post-infectious events.Clinically, TM is characterized by the rapid onset of bilateral symptoms, potentially progressing to paraplegia or tetraplegia with varying severity.Studies have indicated a connection between transverse myelitis and demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis Optica.
