Entry term(s) mielitis desmielinizante transversa
mielitis transversa aguda
Scope note: Inflamación de una porción transversal de la médula espinal caracterizada por desmielinización o necrosis segmentaria, aguda o subaguda. La afección puede ocurrir esporádicamente, seguir a una infección o vacunación, o presentarse como un síndrome paraneoplásico (ver también ENCEFALOMIELITIS AGUDA DISEMINADA). Las manifestaciones clínicas son debilidad motora, pérdida sensitiva e incontinencia. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1242-6)

Scope note: Inflammation of a transverse portion of the spinal cord characterized by acute or subacute segmental demyelination or necrosis. The condition may occur sporadically, follow an infection or vaccination, or present as a paraneoplastic syndrome (see also ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, ACUTE DISSEMINATED). Clinical manifestations include motor weakness, sensory loss, and incontinence. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1242-6)
