Hi,
Transverse myelitis is initially treated with steroids. There are other treatment options too like plasma exchange & immunosuppressive therapy. Most of the patients get benefit from the initial steroid treatment, if that fails then other treatments are planned.
Thank you for contacting healthcare magic.
