Transverse myelitis can appear as the first symptom in conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica (NMO). SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to cause numerous neurologic sequelae, including meningoencephalitis, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Transverse Myelitis Consortium Working Group. Transverse myelitis can cause pain, muscle weakness, paralysis, and … NMOSD typically follows a relapsing and chronic course with recurrent acute attacks of transverse myelitis and/or unilateral or bilateral optic neuritis with only partial or no recovery. A form of transverse myelitis called "partial" myelitis (as it affects only a portion of the cross-sectional area of the spinal cord) is more characteristic of MS. Recurrent ON may herald multiple sclerosis (MS) or NMO, or it may occur as an isolated syndrome.
