Title: Mycoplasma pneumoniaeassociated transverse myelitis presenting as asymmetric flaccid paralysis
  • Document date: 2019_9_12
    • ID: s7jxpvv8_11
    Snippet: We present a case of M. pneumoniaeassociated transverse myelitis with unusual clinical and radiological features. The patient presented with acute-onset unilateral flaccid weakness without sensory or autonomic changes, which is suggestive of acute flaccid myelitis. His MRI findings were more consistent with ATM, but involved mainly the cervical spine contrary to the usual thoracic involvement in most cases of ATM. Intrathecal M. pneumoniae antibo.....
    Document: We present a case of M. pneumoniaeassociated transverse myelitis with unusual clinical and radiological features. The patient presented with acute-onset unilateral flaccid weakness without sensory or autonomic changes, which is suggestive of acute flaccid myelitis. His MRI findings were more consistent with ATM, but involved mainly the cervical spine contrary to the usual thoracic involvement in most cases of ATM. Intrathecal M. pneumoniae antibodies were elevated, and the patient showed significant response to high dose steroids and plasmapheresis.
