Improved functional outcomes in a patient with SLE longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis: A case report

This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis, aggressive medical therapy, and early multidisciplinary rehabilitation in optimizing recovery in SLE-LETM. Although this condition is often associated with poor outcomes, significant functional recovery is achievable with timely and intensive management. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of early rehabilitation in long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis, aggressive medical therapy, and early multidisciplinary rehabilitation in optimizing recovery in SLE-LETM. Although this condition is often associated with poor outcomes, significant functional recovery is achievable with timely and intensive management. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of early rehabilitation in long-term outcomes.
