What Is Transverse Myelitis?
4. When To Seek Medical Help
There are several neurological conditions with symptoms similar to those that occur with transverse myelitis. Some of these are medical emergencies and require immediate attention. Spinal cord compression is one such condition, as is a spinal stroke.
A spinal stroke impedes blood flow in the spinal column and can be caused by blood clotting or surgery on the aorta. If you experience any of the symptoms of transverse myelitis, it is important to seek medical care quickly to receive a diagnosis and rule out a potential medical emergency.
