Abstract
Intramedullary spinal cord abscess (ISCA) is a rare infection in children. It is usually associated with congenital neuro-ectodermal abnormalities. Spastic paraparesis is the predominant clinical presentation. We report a child of ISCA who presented with acute flaccid paralysis of both lower limbs, an unusual presentation and yet showed significant neurological improvement.
