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.

What is transverse myletis?

Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord. This inflammation can result in damage to the myelin (protective covering of nerve fibers), leading to symptoms such as weakness, sensory disturbances, and bladder and bowel dysfunction. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.


Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?

Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


In a transverse wave the medium vibrates?

In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This causes the wave to move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and ocean waves.


How energy cause matter to move in transverse wave?

In a transverse wave, energy is transferred perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This energy causes particles of matter to move up and down or side to side, creating the characteristic oscillating motion of a transverse wave. The energy is passed along the medium as the particles transmit the energy to neighboring particles, which in turn causes the wave to propagate.


Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?

False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.

Can transverse myelitis return again?

What causes the symptoms of transverse myelitis?

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.


What is the prognosis for transverse 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.

What are common circumstances for getting transverse myelitis?

Transverse myelitis often occurs in people who are recovering from a recent viral illness, including chickenpox, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, and measles.


How is transverse myelitis treated?

Treatment is aimed at calming the immune response that caused the spinal cord injury in the first place. To this end, high doses of intravenous and then oral steroids are the first-line treatments for transverse myelitis.


How is transverse myelitis diagnosed?

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.


What is the treatment for transverse myelitis?

I'm not really sure how to answer this question. I have had Transverse Myelitis, and I was fortunate enough not to be paralyzed because of it. My TM was treated so my spinal cord wasn't swollen, but I'll still carry the diagnoses with me for the rest of my life, and I still have residual effects, like a hand tremor. I suppose the answer would be no, because it can't be cured, but it can be treated. When there is a cure for TM, I'll be the first one to get it.


What is likelihood of Transverse Myelitis coming back a second time?

The chances of this are very very very slim, but it is possible. There is a blood test you can get that will tell you if you are likely to get it again.
