摘要
A woman in her 40s presented with thoracic banding dysaesthesia and lower motor neuron weakness. Spinal imaging revealed a short segment of transverse myelitis and neurophysiology was suggestive of concurrent acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. The patient improved with consecutive intravenous immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone treatment. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a progressive immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy which responds to intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis, whereas transverse myelitis is a central inflammatory syndrome usually treated with corticosteroid. We highlight differentiating features of the clinical presentation and the utility of investigations such as neurophysiology and MRI along with a review of treatment and the role for corticosteroid therapy.
