Hopkins syndrome is a poliomyelitis-like illness manifesting flaccid paralysis of an extremity in the recovery stage after an asthmatic attack. A 7-year-old boy who developed acute flaccid paralysis of the left upper extremity 4 days after an asthmatic attack is reported. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed a local high-intensity area in the left anterior horn at the C4 to C6 level. There have been few pathologic or radiologic studies of this syndrome. We suspect that the cause is an anterior horn lesion.
霍普金斯综合征是一种类似小儿麻痹症的疾病，在哮喘发作后的恢复阶段表现为肢体弛缓性麻痹。本文报告了一名7岁男孩，在哮喘发作4天后出现左上肢急性弛缓性麻痹。颈椎的T2加权磁共振成像显示，在C4至C6水平的左侧前角有一个局部高强度区域。关于该综合征的病理学或放射学研究很少。我们怀疑其病因是前角病变。
