Acute partial transverse myelitis is an acute inflammatory process of the spinal cord and it is a rare clinical syndrome. Acute partial cord lesions cause unilateral or markedly asymmetric sensory and motor dysfunction. In this paper, we report a case of 11 month-old girl who developed acute onset monoparesia following a viral respiratory infection because of no case has been described in the pediatric age group. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord disclosed expansive and high signal-intensity in the left part of the cervical region. A diagnosis of acute partial transverse myelitis was made and patient was treated with IV immunoglobulin and oral prednisolone. The child had a good neurologic outcome, eventually second months of treatment.

Spinal kanalın manyetik rezonans incelemesinde servikal bölgenin sol parçasında expansif ve yüksek sinyal yoğunluğu saptandı. Akut parsiyel transvers miyelit tanısı konuldu ve hasta iv. immunoglobulin ve oral prednizolon ile tedavi edildi. Çocuk tedavinin ikinci ayında iyi bir nörolojik gelişme gösterdi.
