Abstract

The etiology of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has yet to be determined. Viral link has been suggested, but severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated AFM has not been reported in children. We describe a three-year-old boy, with AFM associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In the era of COVID-19 pandemic, patients with AFM should be tested for SARS-CoV-2.

Keywords: Acute flaccid myelitis; Neuroimaging; Pediatrics; SARS-CoV-2.
