Mortality & Morbidity Conference with Dr. Bohanske

When volumes are high, remember the patient experience can be improved by acknowledging wait times when entering the room and apologizing for their wait.

Transverse myelitis is a result of partial inflammation of the spinal cord that can sometimes lead to necrosis.

• The disease process is often progressive and function does not always return after treatment.
• Most commonly this is idiopathic in nature but it is often attributed to a post-infectious inflammatory state.
• Differential diagnosis should always include cord ischemia versus compression, and diagnosis hinges on a T2-weighted MRI.
