Leukomyelitis

Last updated

Leukomyelitis, also known as acute spasmodic paraplegia, is a disorder of the central nervous system. [1] [2] [3] It affects only the "white matter" of the spinal cord. [3]

Leukomyelitis has been observed in animals such as rats, [4] sheep [5] and goats, [6] as well as humans.
