Conclusions
TPE can be a useful treatment for pediatric transverse myelitis. The retrospective nature of this study without a comparator group limits conclusions about efficacy. However, controlled trials would help to validate our results.
Classification of evidence
This study provides Class IV evidence that plasma exchange is safe and effective in pediatric transverse myelitis.
