ABSTRACT

Transverse myelitis is a very rare neurological condition associated with immunologic and infectious conditions causing interruption of the neuroanatomical pathways in a transverse plane in the spinal cord. Herein is described the fatal case of a patient that developed transverse myelitis after a Caesarean delivery, probably related to the epidural analgesia.
