Abstract
Among rather rare but extremely interesting and important conditions, myelitis stands apart due to its complexity and diversity of clinical manifestations. In this article, in addition to the well-known data on this group of diseases, we present the results of the analysis of eight cases of myelitis, which may serve as a starting point for the development of more effective and streamlined strategies in diagnosis and treatment. It may also contribute to deeper understanding of difficult cases in neurological practice.
