“…It would be more reasonable to consider first the disorder in all of its possible ramifications and then attach more exact diagnostic criteria as they become available. Such an approach has already provided an insight into the aetiological mechanism (Miglets, Bartlett, Arbesman, and Loeser, 1960;Wells, James, and Evans, 1959). SUMMARY The syndrome of multiple cranial nerve dysfunction and its relation to the Guillain-Barre syndrome is discussed.…”

“…Valerio (1952) described 2 cases of oculomotor nerve palsy following antitetanus serum injections, and Guillain-Barre syndrome may occur as a complication of tetanus antitoxin injection (Arbseman et al, 1958;Miglets et al, 1960). Acute transverse myelitis has been reported following diphtheria, tetanus and polio immunization (Whittle and Robertson, 1977).…”

SummaryA 12-year-old boy presented with typical features of short incubation tetanus. Spastic paraparesis with a mid-thoracic sensory level was present from the time of the initial examination. X-rays of the spine and lumbar myelogram were normal. The paraparesis improved rapidly and within a month the patient was free of neurological deficit. The case is possibly a rare example of tetanus involving the central nervous system other than the anterior horn cells.
