Transverse Myelitis Plus Syndrome and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis Plus Syndrome
JAMA Neurol 71:624-629, DeSena, A.,et al, 2014

Article Abstract
We describe these cases with respect to findings that suggest a variant of these conditions that have concomitant nerve-root involvement. These patients had worse outcomes than typical patients with transverse myelitis/acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and these observations build on previous work by other investigators that highlighted persistent flaccid paralysis and electrophysiological evidence of axonal loss portending a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, these cases suggest a potential role for approaching how we classify subtypes of transverse myelitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
