Compressive epidural fluid collection secondary to varicella zoster transverse myelitis

Transverse myelitis is often clinically indistinguishable from compressive myelopathies that require emergent neurosurgical intervention. Here, we present a case of acute varicella zoster virus transverse myelitis that was associated with a compressive fluid collection on magnetic resonance imaging...

description Transverse myelitis is often clinically indistinguishable from compressive myelopathies that require emergent neurosurgical intervention. Here, we present a case of acute varicella zoster virus transverse myelitis that was associated with a compressive fluid collection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) requiring emergent operative intervention. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of acute transverse myelitis and a compressive cord lesion in the adult population.
