Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare neurological condition that primarily affects children. It causes sudden weakness in the muscles, often leading to paralysis. AFM is characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord's gray matter, which can result from viral infections, including those caused by the enterovirus. Symptoms of AFM may include sudden onset of arm or leg weakness, loss of muscle tone, and reflexes. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation and imaging studies, such as MRI, to assess spinal cord damage. While there is no specific treatment, supportive care is essential for recovery and rehabilitation.
