Poliomyelitis, though eradicated from most parts of the world, continues to occur in India. There is paucity of data on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in poliomyelitis. We report a 3(1/2)-year-old boy who presented with subacute onset flaccid paralysis and altered sensorium. Stool culture was positive for wild polio virus type 3. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed signal changes in bilateral substantia nigra and anterior horns of the spinal cord. These MRI changes may be of potential diagnostic significance in a child with poliomyelitis.
脊髓灰质炎虽然在世界大部分地区已被根除，但在印度仍有发生。关于脊髓灰质炎磁共振成像（MRI）变化的数据较少。我们报告一名3岁半的男孩，他出现亚急性弛缓性麻痹和意识改变。粪便培养显示3型野生脊髓灰质炎病毒呈阳性。磁共振成像显示双侧黑质和脊髓前角有信号变化。这些MRI变化可能对脊髓灰质炎患儿具有潜在的诊断意义。
