Abstract
Acute flaccid paresis (AFP) is a clinical syndrome complex that requires clinicians to have a wide range of knowledge about the possible causes of its development. The development of AFP can be caused by both an infectious process (inflammatory damage to the spinal cord or its roots) as well as non-infectious reasons. In particular, a rare cause of the development of AFP can be spinal cord neoplasms which require prompt detection and accurate early diagnosis. For these purposes, in addition to clinical data, it is necessary to involve a complex of neurophysiological and neuroimaging examination methods. A clinical observation of AFP in an 8-year-old patient caused by an intramedullary tumor, the process of differential diagnosis and treatment are presented.
