  • Title: Transverse myelopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Thakarar P, Greenspun B.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1979 Jul; 60(7):323-4. PubMed ID: 454133.
    Abstract:
    There have been 28 reported cases of transverse myelopathy associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. In a 6-month period, the authors saw 2 new cases. Both of these patients were young women (29 and 31 years old) who had received a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus prior to the onset of the transverse myelopathy. The case histories of the 2 patients are reported in detail and the findings are compared with those of previously reported cases. The rehabilitation program and outcome are described. Systemic lupus erythematosus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of transverse myelopathy because there may be many unsuspected cases.
