Acute transverse myelopathy in childhood / K. DUNNE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-2 (April 1986)
[article]
Titre : Acute transverse myelopathy in childhood Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : K. DUNNE, Auteur ; Ian J. HOPKINS, Auteur ; L. K. SHIELD, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.198-204 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The clinical features and outcome of idiopathic acute transverse myelopathy were reviewed for 21 children aged between seven months and 14 years. Pain, most commonly in the back, was the initial symptom for 12 patients; for another six it was weakness and for two urinary retention. All patients had weakness of the legs, and 11 had arm weakness as well. Five patients had very acute onset of severe weakness and were unable to walk within three hours of onset of symptoms. Two children made no significant recovery; for the remainder onset of recovery was evident within two to 17 days. 12 patients later were normal or had only minimal neurological deficit, but nine had a poor outcome with major disturbance of motor or sphincter function. Only one of the five with very acute onset had a good outcome. Over-all, the prognosis after acute transverse myelopathy in childhood is a little better than that reported for adults.
