GBS is PNS problem
ask incontinece(cord problem) in hx.
PE:CNS vs PNS, sensory level for myelitis, rectal reflex(I hate it every

MRI is always a good choice, then LP :) |

e*******0 发帖数: 1487 | 4 Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staff
Several therapies target the acute signs and symptoms of transverse myelitis:
Intravenous steroids. After your diagnosis, you'll likely receive steroids
through a vein in your arm over the course of several days. Steroids help
reduce the inflammation in your spinal column.
Plasma exchange therapy. People who don't respond to intravenous steroids
may undergo plasma exchange therapy. This therapy involves removing the
straw-colored fluid in which blood cel... 阅读全帖 |

d*****9 发帖数: 178 | 5 还想提醒一下这位家长:
小孩发病之前有没有接受过抗病毒的疫苗(flu shot or MMR之类)
请google一下这些病毒跟Transverse Myelitis之间的关系,我看网上报道有打了flu
shot之后感染Transverse Myelitis的病例。
这儿有写MMR可能造成的副作用(包括Transverse Myelitis)

s******t 发帖数: 579 | 6 Niu! Never heard about transverse myelitis.
The following is what I googled:
Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by an inflammatory
process of the spinal cord, and can cause axonal demyelination. Transverse
implies that the inflammation is across the thickness of the spinal cord.
Causes:
In some cases, the disease is presumed to be caused by viral infections such
as cytomegalovirus (CMV) and has also been associated with spinal cord
injuries, immune reactions, schistosomiasis a... 阅读全帖 |

l*h 发帖数: 4124 | 7 you must have your own definition of Transverse Myelitis different from what
the medical world knows. the MRI description said it was NOT Transverse
Myelitis.
have you ever seen Transverse Myelitis shown on MRI as cord-like? also think
about what you said yesterday. |

to substitute with the general term myelitis on some aspects of the disease. |

A*******s 发帖数: 9638 | 15 Transverse myelitis has not specific treatments. Earlier steroids may be
helpful. But at this stage, you have to deal with the complications.
I suggest muscle relaxants for the muscle spasm. TENS unit may be also
helpful. |

A*******s 发帖数: 9638 | 17 MRI of C-spine.
但是, 很多病人的MRI可以是“正常”的, 不是脊髓没有问题,是MRI看不出来。
小孩有尿储留吗? 可以做一个postvoid residue测定。
从你所说的症状来看, transverse myelitis可能性最大。
建议你与你的医生商量, 早期治疗可能会改变结果,尽管有争议。 |

A*******s 发帖数: 9638 | 18
请问您了解Transverse Myelitis的常用的治疗方式么?据医生说,用steriods是惯例
我在网上查到,还有一种是plasmapharesis. Treatment typically consists of one
plasma exchange daily for 5–7 days. 知道那种更有效么?谢谢
TM的机理可能还是autoimmune,可能与最近的病毒感染有关。 大剂量steroids是最常
用的治疗方法, 简单, 没有大的副作用。 可惜steroid的有效性还是有争议, 所以
提倡早诊断,早治疗。 plasmaphresis一般不用, 因为1. 疗效不确定,2 invasive,
小孩很受罪。 所以如果病孩没有危急情况,一般不采用。
大多数TM预后良好, 希望你孩子早日康复。

A*******s 发帖数: 9638 | 20 I see. She has transverse myelitis(TM). The immobility caused the DVT.
So there is no special treatment for TM except physical therapy. But the DVT
has to be treated. Please consult your doctor. |

there is definitely something wrong with the spinal cord.

A*******s 发帖数: 9638 | 22 我的意见还是不变,这个孩子得的是Transverse Myelitis, 证据就是MRI, 如果有腰
穿结果更好了。 复发很少,但不是不可能。 看一下下面的文章:
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/transversemyelitis/detail_tr
我不明白怎么把脊髓炎变成了格林巴利了? 不是指责国内的医生,今天这个病,明天
那个病,家属肯定没有信心了。
这个孩子得了静脉血栓,应该马上抗凝,马上给孩子妈打电话,现在就开始。不抗凝的
后果很严重,不过你没必要现在告诉孩子妈。 另外,告诉她治疗效果应该是很好的,
如果孩子没有了血栓,而脊髓炎没有留下大的后遗症,孩子还是可能再走路的。 对小
孩,我总是有信心。 |

k********n 发帖数: 756 | 25 1。可能不是Transvers Myelitis。年龄小于2岁,而且可以了解到的症状体格检查实验
室并不符
合美国神经科协会关于TM的诊断标准,所以搞清楚诊断是当务之急。国内现在都读美国
的临床指导,你可以让他们给你解释一下。如果是TM,确保问清楚是不是idiopathic
TM.
2。慢性下肢静脉血栓在这个小孩也非常奇怪,因为她的肢体活动并没有受到大的限制
。抗
凝不抗凝在慢性DVT阶段各有说法,跟其成因也有关,建议你找个血液病的专家咨询一
下,确保她的血栓和脊髓病没有关系,以及抗凝的决定。如果没有关系和其他血液疾病
而且是慢性期,抗凝可能并不是需要的
3。MRI很重要,一定要带上。 |

l*h 发帖数: 4124 | 27 there is nothing fitting into transverse myelitis in this case.
the best timing for anticoagulatory treatment has long passed. it becomes
very tricky how and when to deal with the clot. it is irresponsible to
recommend anti-coagu without thoroughly checking both general conditions and
the spinal cord lesion. |
