Transverse myelitis

Transverse myelitis (m.transversus, from Latin transversalis - transverse) is a pathological process in which the normal state of the outer sheath of the nerve (myelin sheath) of the cross section of peripheral nerves is disrupted, excited mainly in sensory neurons. In this case, the patient experiences characteristic symptoms of paralysis of the arm on the opposite side and symptoms of damage to the spinal nerves. Signs of transverse myelitis may be caused by dysfunction of the spinal cord, damage to peripheral nerve endings, or a primary problem in the spinal cord. In many cases, the disease completely affects the entire spinal column. The location of the disease depends on the affected part of the spinal cord. In some cases, the center of myelitis is localized in the medulla of the spinal cord and moves upward to the surface. There are known cases of inflammation of the membranes of the entire spinal column and its long branches, but damage to a particular part of the spinal column is more common. If several segments of the nervous system are affected, the symptoms become more severe. The formation of transverse paralysis and loss of motor function of the arms and legs, impaired sensitivity from the waist to the feet are possible. The sensation of pain also occurs due to damage to the nerve endings. The symptoms are directly related to the factor affecting the spinal column. When disturbances in sensory reactions develop, there is a noticeable increase in pain on one side of the body. This occurs relative to the proximal segments on the dorsal trunk neuron on the other side. Restriction of movement can also occur in severe and complex disorders. Reversible or persistent difficulty in movement often occurs due to significant inflammation or serious destruction of nerve cells and spinal tissue. Restoring functions in this case is not enough. The disorders are directly related to damage to the nervous structure. Therapeutic therapy for peripheral myelitis is varied and
