Most myelitis manifests fast progression in muscle weakness or paralysis starting with the legs and then arms with varying degrees of severity. Sometimes the dysfunction of arms or legs cause instability of posture and difficulty in walking or any movement. Also symptoms generally include paresthesia which is a sensation of tickling, tingling, burning, pricking, or numbness of a persons skin with no apparent long-term physical effect. Adult patients often report pain in the back, extremities, or abdomen. Patients also present increased urinary urgency, bowel or bladder dysfunctions such as bladder incontinence, difficulty or inability to void, and incomplete evacuation of bowel or constipation. Others also report fever, respiratory problems and intractable vomiting. Diseases associated with myelitis
Conditions associated with myelitis include:

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis: autoimmune demyelination of the brain causing severe neurological signs and symptoms
Multiple sclerosis: demyelination of the brain and spinal cord
Neuromyelitis optica or Devics disease: immune attack on optic nerve and spinal cord
Sjögrens syndrome: destruction of the exocrine system of the body
Systemic lupus erythematosus: a systemic autoimmune disease featuring a wide variety of neurological signs and symptoms
Sarcoidosis: chronic inflammatory cells form as nodules in multiple organs
Atopy: an immune disorder of children manifesting as eczema or other allergic conditions. It can include atopic myelitis, which causes weakness. Immune-mediated myelopathies, heterogeneous group of inflammatory spinal cord disorders including autoimmune disorders with known antibodies

Cause
Myelitis occurs due to various reasons such as infections.
The initial procedures of choice are goniotomy or trabeculotomy if the cornea is clear, and trabeculectomy ab externo if the cornea is hazy. The success rates are similar for both procedures in patients with clear corneas. Trabeculectomy and shunt procedures should be reserved for those cases in which goniotomy or trabeculotomy has failed. Cyclophotocoagulation is necessary in some intractable cases but should be avoided whenever possible because of its potential adverse
effects on the lens and the retina. Epidemiology
In the United States, the incidence of primary congenital glaucoma is about one in 10,000 live births. Worldwide, the incidence ranges from a low of 1:22,000 in Northern Ireland to a high of 1:2,500 in Saudi Arabia and 1:1,250 in Romania. In about two-thirds of cases, it is bilateral. The distribution between males and females varies with geography. In North America and Europe, it is more common in boys, whereas in Japan it is more common in girls. Congenital glaucomaIncidence: one in every 10000-15000 live births. Bilateral in up to 80% of cases. Most cases are sporadic (90%). However, in the remaining 10% there appears to be a strong familial component. See also
