Abstract

Introduction: ACUTE MYELOPATHY is defined as an acute spinal cord dysfunction initiated during less than 2 weeks.Many of these spinal cord dysfunctions are reversible if quickly recognized and treated, on the contrary. If recognized late, irreversible damages are expected.Material and Methods: In this prospective, descriptive, cross - sectional study which done in patients who admitted in neurology emergency of Ghaem hospital (2002 - 2005), we supposed ACUTE MYELOPATHY base on history and Clinical findings for patients with paraparesia or tetraparesia and we completed questionnaire for all them. Based on laboratory findings, X-ray, MRI, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and pathology, etiology of ACUTE MYELOPATHY was definited or was strong probability.Results: From 42 cases with acute myelophathy, 19 cases (45%) had MYELITIS, 16 cases (37%) was secondary to tumor, 5 cases (12.5%) vascular, 1 case (2.5%) structural (stenosis of spinal cord canal due to klipple fiels), 1case (2.5%) central herniation. Conclusion: Results from this study (like other studies) indicate that non - infectious MYELITIS is the most common etiology of ACUTE MYELOPATHY but in this study post – infectious MYELITIS was observed more than MS as the etiologic agent of ACUTE MYELOPATHY; but in other studies, MS was most common agent.
