: I have a daughter that had an undiagnosed neurological problem last year.  
  The most obvious symptom was a lesion/mass in the cerebellum which resolved
  itself over a 6 month period.  MS was always an option that had been left on
  the table, although there was evidence of 'spots' in both white and gray matter.
  The possibility of demylenating diseases was also left on the table
  but her LP showed no traces.  I always wondered about transverse myletis but never
  got a clear understanding of what it was, how it presents itself, and whether
  or not the drs. thought it may have been a possibility.  Although the diagnosis that
  most of the doctors leaned towards at the end was some mild form of viral encephalitis,
  we did treat her for Lyme's disease (negative results) just in case.  She had 2 MRIs 9 months
  apart that were clean so we are hopeful that this ordeal is over for good.  I would greatly
  appreciate a quick education on how this 'condition' presents itself and how
  it is diagnosed.  Thanks.  
  This is a great forum/service that your facility provides to the internet community.  Thanks
  for providing it.

Hello, Lorrie,
