Transverse Myelitis (TM) is a disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. It is characterized by symptoms and signs of neurologic dysfunction in motor and sensory tracts on both sides of the spinal cord.

G82.54Paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis) ICD-10-CM G82. 54 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 052 Spinal disorders and injuries with cc/mcc.
In transverse myelitis there is usually a single lesion in the spinal cord and none in the brain, whereas in multiple sclerosis (MS) there are multiple attacks of inflammation and lesions throughout the brain and spinal cord.
Transverse myelitis is often a onetime illness. But for some people, transverse myelitis is an early symptom of another serious immune disease of the nervous system. One such disease is multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic (long-term) disease with no cure.
Transverse myelitis often develops following viral infections such as varicella zoster (the virus that causes chicken pox and shingles), herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, echovirus, HIV, hepatitis A, and rubella.
What Causes It?Autoimmune conditions like lupus and Sjogren's syndrome that cause inflammation.Infections:Multiple sclerosis (MS): Transverse myelitis can be the first sign of MS, which destroys myelin in your brain and spinal cord. It can also signal a relapse.Apr 4, 2020
Transverse myelitis is a relatively rare disease. It occurs most often in children ages 10 to 19 and in adults ages 30 to 39, but it can happen at any age.
Unlike quadriplegia — which is a full paralysis or inability to move all four limbs — quadriparesis is characterized by overall weakness in your arms and legs, but you can still feel and move your limbs. Quadriparesis can be caused by illness or injury.May 11, 2021
Quadriparesis is a condition characterized by weakness in all four limbs (both arms and both legs). It's also referred to as tetraparesis. The weakness may be temporary or permanent.
The ICD-10 Code for multiple sclerosis is G35.
