Abstract

Transverse myelopathy is characterized by a sudden onset of motor weakness and sensory loss on the distribution under the affected spinal cord level. And slso, autonomic nerve functions may be disturbed at the same time. The etiology is still unknown. But it is thought that numerous conditions and diseases are associat- ed with it. We experienced 3 cases of transverse myelopathy preceded by Korean hemorrhagic fever and URI. So, we presented the cases and reviewed the related literatures
