Inflammatory myelopathies are a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord, leading to neurological symptoms. These conditions can result from various causes, including autoimmune diseases, infections, or exposure to toxins. Symptoms may include weakness, sensory changes, and difficulties with coordination. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies like MRI, and laboratory tests to identify underlying causes. Treatment often focuses on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms, which may include medications such as corticosteroids. Early intervention is crucial for improving outcomes and preventing further neurological damage.
