The Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center (JHTMC) was established in October 1999 as a multidisciplinary center dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of acute transverse myelitis (ATM) and to better understand the pathophysiology and natural course of the disease. We have gathered expert physicians and health care professionals in a variety of disciplines - - - neurology, psychiatry, urology, rheumatology, orthopedic surgery, neuroradiology, rehabilitation medicine and physical and occupational therapy - - with the express goal of providing a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and maximizing recovery and function. The Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center (JHTMC) is the only such center for excellence in the entire world. Visit the Johns Hopkins Tranverse Myelitis Center website
