Acute transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare acquired neuro-immune spinal cord disorder that can present with the rapid
onset of weakness, sensory alterations, and bowel or bladder dysfunction. Pediatric post-infectious acute transverse
myelitis presents with a myriad of motor, sensory and autonomic involvement disturbances at the spinal cord level
without any significant disturbances in the brain. Few cases have been reported worldwide and post covid proven cases
are around 8 in the pediatric population worldwide. Early initiation of treatment with pulse therapy of steroids and
prompt recognition can give promising results in the pediatric population. Hereby presented is a similar case, post
infectious, COVID antibody proven.
