从临床角度鉴别横贯性脊髓炎(TM)的各种可能病因,常常存在一定困难。本文试图确定不同病因的TM是否存在差别,并估计美国人群TM的发病率。 本文回顾性分析了阿布圭亚(Albuquerque)地区1980年至1990年发病的33例TM。男17例,女16例,年龄18个月～82岁。患者被进一步分类为类感染相关(Parainfection associated,PlA-TM,15例,46％),与多数性硬化相关的(MSA,7例,21％),与脊髓局部缺血相关的(SClA—TM,4例、12％),病因不明或特发性的(IP—TM,7例、21％)。
There are often some difficulties in identifying the various possible causes of transverse myelitis (TM) from a clinical perspective. This article attempts to determine whether there is a difference in TM for different etiologies and to estimate the incidence of TM in the United States. This article retrospectively analyzed 33 cases of TM that developed from 1980 to 1990 in the Albuquerque region. 17 males and 16 females, aged 18 months to 82 years. Patients were further classified as infection-like (Parainfection associated, PlA-TM, 15, 46%), most sclerosis (MSA, 7 cases, 21%), spinal cord ischemia-related , 4 cases, 12%), etiological or idiopathic (IP-TM, 7 cases, 21%).
