When a cause cannot be identified, it is called idiopathic transverse myelitis. Diagnostic criteria for involvement: acute complete transverse myelitis (ACTM) and acute partial transverse myelitis (APTM).7,8 ACTM is an acute or subacute inflam-matory process of the spinal cord causing symmetric moderate or severe loss of function distal to that level. APTM is incomplete or patchy involvement of at least one spinal segment with mild to moderate The exact cause for transverse myelitis is not known, although the inflammation is thought to be the result of the immune system mistakenly attacking the spinal cord.
