摘要：

Idiopathic transverse myelitis is a monophasic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and its recurrence is a rare entity. Existence of syringomyelia in the spinal cord in inflammatory CNS disease is not usually encountered. This case study describes a 45-year-old man who was admitted with features of a cervical demyelinating disease. The history of the patient indicated that this could be a recurring attack. Cervical MRI and laboratory examination of the patient showed evidence of recurrent transverse myelitis. The patient was managed with medical therapy. The follow-up cervical MRI of the patient 2 years later indicated syringomyelia in the cervical cord.
