what does this mean: Mild Myelomalacia consistant with history of transverse myelitis
Poliomyelitis: polio comes from the virus called (poliovirus 1.2.3), myelitis is the inflamation of the myelin. But in this particular case of poliomyelitis we consider 'active infectious inflamation of the myelin in the anterior horn cell of the spinal cord.

Transverse Myelitis is the inflammation of the spinal cord.
The area on the spinal cord affected by transverse myelitis will determine the individual's level of functioning. The higher-up the lesion, the greater the disability.

Transverse myelitis often occurs in people who are recovering from a recent viral illness, including chickenpox, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, and measles.
The chances of this are very very very slim, but it is possible. There is a blood test you can get that will tell you if you are likely to get it again.
Treatment is aimed at calming the immune response that caused the spinal cord injury in the first place. To this end, high doses of intravenous and then oral steroids are the first-line treatments for transverse myelitis.
Transverse myelitis has many different causes, often triggered by a variety of viral and bacterial infections (especially those associated with a rash such as measles or chickenpox ). Once the infection subsides, the inflammation in the cord begins.
The symptoms of transverse myelitis are due to damage and/or destruction of the myelin sheath, the fatty white covering of nerve fibers that serves both to insulate the nerve fibers and to speed nervous conduction along them.
I'm not really sure how to answer this question. I have had Transverse Myelitis, and I was fortunate enough not to be paralyzed because of it. My TM was treated so my spinal cord wasn't swollen, but I'll still carry the diagnoses with me for the rest of my life, and I still have residual effects, like a hand tremor. I suppose the answer would be no, because it can't be cured, but it can be treated. When there is a cure for TM, I'll be the first one to get it.
