Transverse myelitis

Discussion:

CSF electrophoresis shows oligoclonal banding. Corresponding bands were not detected in the serum.

Examination of the brain demonstrates no features to suggest prior demyelination, although on further questioning the patient describes an episode of lower limb sensory disturbance which may represent a prior episode of demyelination. 

Overall features are fairly typical of transverse myelitis, and the patient has been followed both clinically and with MRI. He has recovered and remains well.
