Myelomalacia is a broad term. Can you be more specific and include peripheral smear report (differential) and bone marrow report.

Myelomalacia literally means softening of the spinal cord, and implies an area of localized damage or atrophy secondary to extrinsic or intrinsic pathology. Impossible to go further without far more details. Blood tests may or may not reveal cause. See a neurologist or a neurosurgeon and ascertain degree of future risk.
