Neurologic examination revealed complete sensory loss with upper level at T 12 and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs with bilateral absence of knee-jerk. A diagnosis of transverse myelitis was made and supportive care instituted; however, he died within the next week. (Images prepared from virtual slide, AANP Diagnostic Slide Session 1985, case 3)
