Proposed diagnostic criteria and nosology of acute transverse myelitis
Abstract
To the Editor: The Transverse Myelitis Consortium Working Group should be congratulated for the proposed diagnostic criteria and nosology of acute transverse myelitis (ATM).1 However, in the differential diagnosis only scarce attention was given to fibrocartilaginous embolization from nucleus pulposus embolism (NPE), a condition that is often undiagnosed and frequently confused—clinically and pathologically—with ATM.2 For instance, Bots et al.3 reexamined a teaching specimen of so-called ATM and found an acute transverse myelopathy due to NPE. Although the exclusion criterion of <4 hours from onset to nadir would effectively exclude most vascular cases, in our review of the natural history of NPE,2 we found that at least 42% of the cases had progressed for periods of ≥4 hours; furthermore, a prodromal history of intermittent back pain is not uncommon, lasting for periods of weeks to up to 4 months.4 …

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.
