Abstract
A 5-year-old girl presented with complaints of fever, left-sided hemiparesis, and left upper motor neuron facial nerve palsy following oral polio booster dose vaccination. She had a past history of fever with altered sensorium with complete resolution at 3 years of age. Cerebrospinal fluid evaluation and stool examination were inconclusive. MRI with MRA showed T2 hyperintensities of the right fronto-temporo-parietal cortex with diffusion restriction and occlusion of bilateral internal carotid arteries and collateral formation suggestive of Moyamoya disease with cerebral cortical encephalitis. Evaluation of encephalitis revealed positivity for anti-myelin oligodendrocyte (MOG) antibodies. She showed a good response to intravenous immunoglobulin and pulse steroids with resolution of encephalitis and facial nerve palsy and improvement in the power of the left side of the body. We presume that the Moyamoya disease in this case is possibly secondary to myelin oligodendrocyte antibody-associated disease.
期刊介绍：
The journal has been expanded to encompass all aspects of pediatric neurosciences concerning the developmental and acquired abnormalities of the nervous system and its coverings, functional disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, basic and clinical neuro-oncology, rehabilitation and trauma. Global pediatric neurosurgery is an additional field of interest that will be considered for publication in the journal.
