Transverse Myelitis
Abstract
An otherwise healthy 28-year-old woman presents with progressive weakness for the past 3 days, numbness below her breasts, and urinary urgency. Neck flexion triggers an electrical sensation that radiates to the coccyx. Examination reveals moderate paraparesis with hyperreflexia, a left extensor plantar response, impaired vibratory and proprioceptive sensation, and a sensory level at T6. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a lower cervical cord lesion that enhances after gadolinium administration, a finding consistent with transverse myelitis. How should she be further evaluated and treated?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
