Transverse myelitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. As a result, the covering (myelin sheath) around the nerve cells is damaged. This disturbs the signals between spinal nerves and rest of the body. Transverse myelitis can cause pain, muscle weakness, paralysis, and bladder or bowel problems.
