Most severe cases result in stillbirth or neonatal death shortly after delivery.

Acute transverse myelitis is more common in children than in adults. Postvaccinal transverse myelitis is a rare complication of vaccination.

The child developed flaccid paralysis 18 days after (August, 2024) the administration of oral polio vaccine and persisted for more than 60 days from the onset of the disease.
