RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: We report a patient with acid maltase deficiency who presented with subacute respiratory failure as the first symptom without significant extremity weakness. METHODS AND RESULTS: Electromyography of extremities was normal but showed myopathic changes and myotonic discharges limited to axial muscles only. Muscle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: It is essential to examine axial muscles during electromyography if a patient presents with respiratory failure of unclear etiology even if the clinical examination does not show significant weakness in the extremities and electromyographic findings in the extremities are unremarkable.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transverse myelitis has been reported in association with vaccination, including influenza vaccination. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis associated with vaccination with a nasal attenuated novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccine. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Sanford University of South Dakota Hospital. Patient A 27-year-old woman with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. RESULTS: Four days following novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccination, the patient developed longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Extensive diagnostic evaluation effectively ruled out causes other than vaccination-associated transverse myelitis. Following treatment with corticosteroids and plasmapheresis, the patient made a significant recovery. CONCLUSIONS: Transverse myelitis may be associated with vaccination against novel influenza A(H1N1). Additionally, we believe this to be the first report of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis associated with any vaccine.
