Subscribe now >> Transverse Myelitis Transverse myelitis is a demyelinating (loss of the fatty tissue around the nerves) disorder of the spinal cord. It may occur alone or in combination with demyelination in other parts of the nervous system. Onset of the disorder is sudden. Symptoms may include low back pain, spinal cord dysfunction, muscle spasms, a general feeling of discomfort, headache, loss of appetite, and numbness or tingling in the legs. Transverse myelitis may be caused by viral infections, spinal cord injuries, immune reactions, or insufficient blood flow through the blood vessels in the spinal cord. It may also occur as a complication of such disorders as optic neuromyelitis, multiple sclerosis, smallpox, and measles, or as a complication of chickenpox vaccinations. There is no specific treatment for transverse myelitis. Treatment for the disorder is symptomatic.

When inflammation is very limited, the condition may be called a "myelopathy." Injury to the spine, benign tissue growths, or blood vessel abnormalities may also cause this disorder. Major symptoms may initially include pain, followed by gradual paralysis and/or other central nervous system disturbances. Symptoms Myelitis is characterized by inflammation of segments of the spinal cord which can cause local back pain, usually followed by gradual spinal cord dysfunction. These symptoms are often accompanied by muscle spasms, a general feeling of discomfort, backache, headache, loss of appetite (anorexia), numbness or tingling of legs. Eventually, loss of sensation may be severe, associated with sensorimotor paralysis below the level of the lesion, urinary retention, and loss of sexual function and/or bowel (sphincter) control. Myelitis patients exhibit thick, rough, dry skin below the spinal lesion, and tendon reflexes may be lost. The upper spinal (thoracic) area is often involved, causing abdominal paralysis. Eventually, there may be slight improvement depending on the cause. Myelitis can be an acute or chronic disease.

EPM - Equine Protozoal Myelitis EPM is a debilitating neurologic disease of horses. It can affect the brain, brainstem, spinal cord or any combination of these three areas of the central nervous system. Clinical signs may suggest focal or multifocal disease, which means the disease may affect a very small (focal) part of the central nervous system (CNS) or may parts of the CNS (multifocal). Therefore the disease may present itself with a variety of different clinical signs, dependant on the location of the damage caused by the organism within the CNS. There is no vaccine currently available. Lifecycle: EPM occurs in much of North America. Surveys conducted in central Kentucky, one county in Pennsylvania and the entire states of Ohio and Oregon have revealed that approximately 50% of the horses have been exposed to this parasite. We know that a positive serum test indicates exposure to the parasite, not necessarily the presence of disease, the incidence of which is much lower. In the studies that looked at the distribution of seropositive cases geographically, it was found that climatic factors may affect exposure rates, i.e., an increase of freezing days was associated with a decrease in numbers of horses exposed to the parasite. A similar effect of very hot environments may also decrease the survival of the infective stages of the protozoan parasites and lessen exposure to horses. EPM appears to have a sporadic distribution, although outbreaks have been reported on farms in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Florida.

Other characters Myelitis, a term that is sometimes improperly used as a synonym for myelopathy; the two terms, however, have quite different meanings. Both indicate spinal cord involvement by some pathological event: myelopathy is a more inclusive term that does not imply an aetiological factor while myelitis should be restricted to inflammatory diseases of the spinal cord. Myelopathy includes myelitis; myelitis produces a myelopathy. Any process that impairs the function of the spinal cord produces a myelopathy; in the common use, however, the term is usually employed with an adjective such as "compressive", "degenerative" or "congenital". Despite the fact that conditions such as spinal cord tumours or hydrosyringomyelia produce symptoms of myelopathy they are usually considered as specific, separate entities. On the other hand, "myelitis" is frequently a sort of wastebasket in which all myelopathies of unknown or undetectable aetiology are included. With these caveats in mind an attempt at classification can be made. MYELITIS Viral infections Usually of acute onset due to viruses that affect the grey matter (poliomyelitis). Herpes, coxackie and polio viruses are the most common agents.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Transverse myelitis Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Transverse myelitis (TM) is an uncommon neurological syndrome caused by inflammation (a protective response which includes swelling, pain , heat, and redness) of the spinal cord, characterized by weakness, back pain, and bowel and bladder problems. It affects one to five persons per million. Description TM affects the entire thickness of the spinal cord, producing both sensory and movement problems. It is believed to be linked to the immune system, which may be prompted to attack the body's own spinal cord. Striking rapidly without warning, its effects can be devastating. Causes and symptoms Transverse myelitis has many different causes, often triggered by a variety of viral and bacterial infections (especially those associated with a rash such as measles or chickenpox ). Once the infection subsides, the inflammation in the cord begins. About a third of patients experience a flu-like illness with fever about the time they develop symptoms of TM. Sometimes, there appears to be a direct invasion of, and injury to, the spinal cord by an infectious agent (such as herpes zoster or the
