Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can involve the nervous system, including the cranial nerves. Central nervous system findings, especially irritability, lethargy, and aseptic meningitis, occur in 1-30 % of KD patients (1). Cranial nerve palsies are seen rarely, and abducens nerve palsy has been reported in only three children. We describe a 2.5-year-old girl with incomplete KD who developed transient abducens nerve palsy after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment.
川崎病(KD)是一种全身性血管炎,可累及神经系统,包括颅神经。中枢神经系统表现,尤其是易激惹、嗜睡和无菌性脑膜炎,见于1%-30%的KD患者(1)。颅神经麻痹很少见,仅报道过3例儿童发生外展神经麻痹。我们描述了一名2.5岁患不完全性KD的女孩,在静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)治疗后出现了短暂性外展神经麻痹。
