- Abstract
The etiology of transverse myelitis (TM) remains frequently unknown, despite a screening for possible causes like infectious diseases, connective tissue diseases, multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, paraneoplastic or vascular. An important point for the diagnosis is the follow-up who can reveal by adding new clinical elements an etiology for the spinal disease. We report the case of a 40 years old male with repetitive cervical and thoracic myelitis who was diagnosed with Sjogren syndrome three years after the onset of neurological impairment. Considerations about the differentials are made, and possible etiological entities are discussed.
