A case of acute transverse myelopathy with anaesthesia and flaccid paralysis of both lower limbs, following intragluteal penicillin injection, is reported. This accident was probably due to a mistaken intra-arterial injection of the drug with retrograde progression through branches of the internal iliac artery up to the spinal cord. The treatment of such events in all the cases reported by the literature has been disappointing. Therefore, particular precautions must be taken in case of intramuscular penicillin injection, according to the present and the previous cases described, in order to avoid such accidents.
报告了一例在臀内注射青霉素后出现急性横贯性脊髓病，伴有双下肢麻木和弛缓性麻痹的病例。这一意外可能是由于药物误注入动脉，经髂内动脉分支逆行至脊髓所致。文献报道的所有此类事件的治疗效果都不尽人意。因此，根据目前及之前描述的病例，在进行肌肉注射青霉素时必须特别小心，以避免此类事故发生。
