A case of transverse myelitis in a 25-year-old patient was described. The transverse myelitis was caused by toxic cause, probably as a result of benzene poisoning. This diagnosis was based on: The differential diagnosis. The patient's occupation. The abnormal high urinary phenol levels. The coincidence of decreasing urinary phenol values with an amelioration of the clinical condition of patient. After consulting the literature, we think that this case of transverse myelitis based on a benzene poisoning is the first ever described.
描述了一名25岁患者的横贯性脊髓炎病例。该横贯性脊髓炎由中毒原因引起，可能是苯中毒的结果。这一诊断基于：鉴别诊断、患者的职业、尿酚水平异常升高、尿酚值下降与患者临床状况改善的巧合。查阅文献后，我们认为这例基于苯中毒的横贯性脊髓炎病例是首次报道。
