Abstract
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare neurological disease of spinal cord inflammation. Onslaught inflammation damage the myelin is leading to nervous system scaring. Consequently, the patient presents devastating neurological effects. It can afflict people of any age, gender or race. Symptoms per usual evolve over hours or days and then deteriorate over days to weeks. Symptoms include pain, sensory problems, weakness in the legs and arms, and bladder and bowel problems. Most people partially recover within three months; others may be permanently disabled. There is no cure for TM thus far, but neurological deficit can be minimised. From the purview of Ayurveda, TM can be categorised under the spectrum of Vata disorder. Recent research report the successful treatment of TM. However, each explains the pathology differently. This review will discuss the concepts of TM apropos to Mishravarana (combined occlusion) and its management. We suggest that symptoms and pathology of TM simulate closely with Avaranajanya Vatavyadi (disease of Vata due to occlusion). Mishravarana (combined occlusion) illustrates the complexity of the disease process involved.
