Transverse myelitis, usually causes by viral infections, can cause complete paralysis below the level of the lesion. Just like a transection of the spinal cord. Quite serious, I would guess determining the etiology in this case is going to be critical, but very hard to do.

Can also be autoimmune, perhaps triggered by vaccine. Or, in this case, could be triggered by the adenoviral vector used in the vaccine.



So if this was triggered by the vaccine (rather than the adenoviral vector), would it mean that this person might have also had TM if they had caught Covid19?
