weakness of limbs; tingling or numbness of fingers
The symptoms of transverse myelitis are due to damage and/or destruction of the myelin sheath, the fatty white covering of nerve fibers that serves both to insulate the nerve fibers and to speed nervous conduction along them.
Transverse Myelitis is the inflammation of the spinal cord.
Myelitis is a disease involving inflammation of the spinal cord
Myelopathy refers to the spinal cord's pathology. It is considered a spinal cord injury if it suffers from trauma. It is referred to as myelitis if the area is inflamed.
what does this mean: Mild Myelomalacia consistant with history of transverse myelitis
Problems with movement and sensation appear within one or two days after inflammation begins. Symptoms include soft (flaccid) paralysis of the legs, with pain in the lower legs or back, followed by loss of feeling and sphincter.
Polio myelitis.
The area on the spinal cord affected by transverse myelitis will determine the individual's level of functioning. The higher-up the lesion, the greater the disability.
Medical history, physical examination, brain and spinal cord scans, myelogram, spinal tap, and blood tests are used to rule out other neurological causes of symptoms, such as a tumor. If none of these tests.
False.
Inflammation of the spinal marrow or its membranes.
You are confusing the prefix myel/o (bonen marrow/spinal cord) with myc/o (fungus). myelitis is inflammation of the spinal cord, normally associated with bacteria or a virus; although there have been few reported cases of myelitis due to a fungus.
