Clinical presentation, electrodiagnostic findings and outcomes of acute flaccid myelitis: A brief review and case series.

Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is an acute condition occurring mostly in children. Although affected patients can show a broad spectrum of symptoms, it is mainly characterized by the progressive onset of focal limb weakness, presenting over a period of hours to a week, with or without pain, and spinal cord gray matter involvement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There is compelling evidence to support the role of viruses, in particular enteroviruses.
