Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Acute flaccid weakness may be the first presentation of acute transverse myelitis (ATM), an immune-mediated central nervous system disorder or may be the first presentation of anterior horn cell syndrome or peripheral nervous system disease.
CASE REPORTS: We describe two previously healthy female infants who presented with acute flaccid paralysis and encephalopathy. Neuroimaging revealed central cord signal changes in both cases and surprisingly electrophysiological studies performed revealed a generalized axonal motor neuropathy as well.
CONCLUSION: Clinical, radiological and neurophysiological assessment are important to aid in the diagnosis and subsequent management of children with overlapping inflammatory peripheral and central nervous system syndromes.
