- History or presence of myelopathy due to spinal cord compression by disk or vertebral disease
- History of severe, clinically significant CNS trauma (e.g., cerebral contusion, spinal cord compression)
- History of intracranial or intraspinal tumor (e.g., meningioma, glioma)
- History or presence of potential metabolic cause of encephalopathy or myelopathy (e.g., untreated vitamin B12 deficiency, untreated thyroid deficiency)
- History or presence of infectious causes of encephalopathy or myelopathy (e.g., syphilis, Lyme disease, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 [HTLV-1], herpes zoster myelopathy)
- Neuromyelitis optica
- History or presence of systemic autoimmune disorders potentially causing progressive neurologic disease (e.g., lupus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Sjogren�s syndrome, Behcet disease)
- History or presence of sarcoidosis
