Transverse Myelitis (TM) is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation in the spinal cord. Inflammation can lead to damage or destruction of myelin, the insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. This damage can interrupt communication between the nerves within the spinal cord and the rest of the body.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system mounts an inflammatory response and causes damage to his or her peripheral nerves.
