Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) associated with COVID 19 infection and vaccination: A case report and literature review.
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an inflammatory disorder caused by many etiologies, from postinfectious to autoimmune. Rarely, ATM cases have been reported after both COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination. We described our experience with ATM after COVID-19 infection and conducted a literature review.
Case finding methods: We reported a case of longitudinally extensive ATM after COVID 19 infection, who also received convalescent plasma therapy, and present a comprehensive literature review of ATM cases reported after COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination. The literature search was done using PubMed and Google scholar with keywords and selected peer-reviewed articles. The search included all cases from Jan 2020 to Sept 2022.
Results: A total of 60 ATM cases reported association with post COVID 19 infection, and 23 ATM cases reported association with post COVID 19 vaccinations. Among post COVID 19 ATM cases, the mean age was 49 years and the youngest reported was 7-month-old. A total of 55% (33) were longitudinally extensive ATM. The most common symptom was lower extremity weakness. One case was reported as necrotizing myelitis on biopsy, and another case overlapped with syndrome of GBS and longitudinal ATM. No cases reported using convalescent plasma therapy after infection. Almost all the ATM cases were treated with steroids, but some cases needed additional treatment since not all responded adequately. Six cases (10%) responded with steroids plus plasmapheresis, and 5 cases (8%) responded with steroids + IVIG, especially in the pediatric age group. One case reported a positive response after treatment with eculizumab, and another with infliximab. Two cases (3%) remained paraparetic. Among post covid-19 vaccine ATM cases, 4 cases (17%) were reported as longitudinally extensive ATM. Five cases (21%) had symptom onset within a week after vaccination. Almost all reported a response to steroids except for one case which reported fatality after the 58th day after vaccination.
Conclusion: ATM, in the setting of acute COVID-19 infection, has been described in multiple cases and is a rare complication of COVID-19 vaccination.
期刊介绍：
AIMS Neuroscience is an international Open Access journal devoted to publishing peer-reviewed, high quality, original papers from all areas in the field of neuroscience. The primary focus is to provide a forum in which to expedite the speed with which theoretical neuroscience progresses toward generating testable hypotheses. In the presence of current and developing technology that offers unprecedented access to functions of the nervous system at all levels, the journal is designed to serve the role of providing the widest variety of the best theoretical views leading to suggested studies. Single blind peer review is provided for all articles and commentaries.
