Abstract

Transverse myelitis, a diagnosis that may be made in the emergency department (ED) by emergency physicians, can be difficult to diagnose because of its variable signs and symptoms and its poorly understood pathogenesis. In this article, we recount 2 cases of transverse myelitis to demonstrate its presentation, diagnosis, and management in the ED.
