transverse myelitis transverse meaning from one side to the other and myelitis meaning inflamation in the myelin sheith around the spinal chord and nerve fibers. so anything that makes that breach inflaiming both sides of the spine is what they call transverse myelitis. thats what the neurologist and web defs say anyway. i wonder,,,since transverse means from one side to the other, if theres inflamation on just one side of the spine is it just called myelitis? according to some dictionaries it is.
