At the same time, the harm of acute myelitis is still great. What are the early symptoms of acute myelitis? Now let's talk about it.

What does the symptom of acute myelitis inchoate have?

Acute transverse myelitis usually develops to complete paraplegia in a few hours to 2-3 days. The disease can occur at any age. It is common in young and middle-aged people. There is no gender difference and the disease is sporadic. A few days or 1-2 weeks before the disease, there are often symptoms of fever, general discomfort or upper respiratory tract infection, and there may be causes such as overwork, trauma and cold. Most of the symptoms were numbness and weakness of both lower limbs, fascicular sensation or root pain of the lesion segments, and then developed into complete transverse damage of the spinal cord, and the thoracic spinal cord was most often involved. Accompanied by motor, sensory and autonomic nervous dysfunction.

The onset of acute ascending myelitis is sudden, and the disease rises rapidly within a few hours or 1-2 days. Paralysis rapidly spreads from the lower limbs to the upper limbs or the muscles dominated by the medulla oblongata, resulting in dysphagia, dysarthria, respiratory muscle paralysis, and even death.

Demyelinating myelitis (demyelinating myelitis) is mostly acute multiple sclerosis (MS) spinal cord type. Its clinical manifestations are similar to those of post infectious myelitis, but its progress is slow. The disease often reaches its peak in 1-3 weeks. Anterior region infection may not be obvious, mostly incomplete transverse damage, showing weakness or paralysis of one or both lower limbs, with numbness, sensory disturbance level is not obvious or there are two planes, and urinary and fecal disorders. Evoked potential and MRI examination may find lesions in other parts of CNS.

matters needing attention

In daily life, once we find the early symptoms of several common acute myelitis introduced above, we must be vigilant. The best way is to go to the regular hospital in time to receive relevant examination, diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
