The term myelopathy defines a suffering of the spinal cord whatever the etiologies. They often represent real therapeutic emergencies and are burdened by serious functional sequelae. The aim of this work was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and etiological aspects of all myelopathies. We have conducted a prospective and descriptive study from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 at the Neurology department of the Cocody University Hospital in Abidjan. Seventy-one patients out of 1,006 were included, that is, a prevalence of 7.06%. The sex ratio was 1.7. The average age was 49 years old. HIV was associated with myelopathy in 24.7% of cases. Medullary compression syndrome was predominant. Pott's disease was the etiology of compressive myelopathies (43.9%) followed by bone metastases (26.8%). Tuberculous myelitis was the most common etiology of non-compressive myelopathies (30%). Myelites of undetermined causes account for 50% of non-compressive myelopathies.
