A 12-year-old boy presented with typical features of short incubation tetanus. Spastic paraparesis with a mid-thoracic sensory level was present from the time of the initial examination. X-rays of the spine and lumbar myelogram were normal. The paraparesis improved rapidly and within a month the patient was free of neurological deficit. The case is possibly a rare example of tetanus involving the central nervous system other than the anterior horn cells.
一名12岁男孩表现出短潜伏期破伤风的典型特征。自初次检查时起即出现伴有胸中段感觉平面的痉挛性双下肢轻瘫。脊柱X线片和腰椎脊髓造影正常。双下肢轻瘫迅速改善,1个月内患者无神经功能缺损。该病例可能是破伤风累及前角细胞以外的中枢神经系统的罕见例子。
