This review article identifies and describes the clinical
manifestations of various metabolic, nutritional, and toxic conditions that result in symptoms of
myelopathy and, in some cases, myeloneuropathy. It includes discussions of the clinical pictures
that occur secondary to these causes. Familiarity with the clinical symptoms may lead to accurate
diagnosis through laboratory and imaging studies and to treatment with successful identification
of the underlying causes.
