Good Afternoon,
Myelopathy is just a general term that there is a problem with the Spinal Cord.
For example, my Dad broke his neck and had a fracture of the 5th Cervical vertebrae with dislocation, so technically it’s Myelopathy, Traumatic Myelopathy, but the specific diagnosis would be C-5 complete Quadriplegia.
If nerves are involved for whatever reason say some peripheral nerves you may have Neuropathy, I have Peripheral Polyneuropathy (Poly=many) caused from Seizure medication. My Dad had Autonomic Neuropathy which affected his ability to regulate his body temperature.
More than you wanted to know probably and we haven’t scratched the surface.
