Myelitis is a human disease involving swelling of the spinal cord, which disrupts central nervous system functions linking the brain and limbs.

[edit] Symptoms and signs

Symptoms include fever, headaches, tingling, pain or loss of feeling, and may extend to central or peripheral paresis and loss of bladder control. Meningeal signs may develop.

[edit] Prognosis

Untreated myelitis may rapidly lead to a permanently damaged spinal cord.
