| Abstract |
|
Acute transverse myelitis can be defined as acute disorder characterized clinically by signs of
lesions in motor and sensory tracts on both sides of the spinal cord. In the typical cases, there is a
distinct bilateral sensory deficit level, paraparesis or quadriparesis, abonormal function of rectal and
vesicular sphincters and often with the evidence of preceding or concurrent viral illness.
Recently, we experienced three patients with acute transverse myelitis in associated with chick-
enpox, upper respiratory tract infection and acute gastroenteritis. |
