Implication

Electrodiagnostic patterns may aid diagnosis in suspected non-polio enteroviral poliomyelitis; extends sparse case data but leaves open prospective validation.

Key Points

To review the clinical presentation and electrodiagnostic evolution of acute paralytic poliomyelitis associated with a non-poliovirus enterovirus.
Evaluated a 56-year-old male presenting with fever, diarrhea, and rapid-onset asymmetric weakness following international travel.
Performed stool viral cultures alongside serial motor and sensory nerve conduction studies and electromyography across multiple segments.
Isolated a non-poliovirus enterovirus from stool after the patient developed rapid asymmetric lower-extremity flaccid weakness.
Demonstrated low-amplitude motor responses with preserved sensory nerve conduction after the first week of illness.
Documented early acute denervation on serial electromyography, followed by multi-segmental reinnervation over subsequent assessments.
