Acute Transverse Myelitis
Prognosis for Acute Transverse Myelitis
Generally, the more rapid the progression is, the worse the prognosis. Pain suggests more intense inflammation. About one third of patients recover, one third retain some weakness and urinary urgency, and one third are bedbound and incontinent. Multiple sclerosis eventually develops in about 10 to 20% of the patients in whom the cause is initially unknown.
