Highlights the rare occurrence of axonal polyneuropathy concurrent with enteroviral meningitis.
Raises awareness of rare neurologic complications in enteroviral meningitis; leaves open questions about causality and prevalence.
Enteroviral infections can cause acute flaccid paralysis resulting from anterior myelitis, but the occurrence of axonal polyneuropathy is not well described. We report an 8-year-old boy who presented with symmetric, ascending flaccid paralysis and was diagnosed with concurrent echovirus type 9 viral meningitis.
