Abstract

Acute transverse myelitis is characterized by paresthesia, sphincter dysfunction, and progressive weakness in the all extremities. Fever, miyalgia, back pain, lower limb pain, paraparesia, and weakness were the most common clinical presentations. We report 13-year-old girl with transverse myelitis who presented with acute abdominal pain. Sphincter dysfunction and weakness improved more slowly than plasmapheresis, intravenous immunglobuline, and methylprednisone pulse therapy were performed. This is the first report, to our knowledge, first presented of acute abdominal pain of a pediatric patient with transverse myelitis
