title: [Acute myelitis associated with systemic diseases].
abstract: Myelitis secondary to systemic disease is a rare condition but clinical involvement is frequently severe. In case of a well-known systemic disease before myelitis diagnosis is relatively easy to perform. On contrary, when the systemic disease is not known previously the management is more difficult. This is of importance for therapeutical considerations. In the present paper we review the topic of acute myelitis secondary to systemic diseases.
