Abstract: | The incidence of severe neurological complications associated with measles or rubella vaccination is low. A 9-year-old girl developed urinary retention and lower limb paralysis 16 days after measles and rubella vaccination. Her illness was diagnosed as transverse myelitis. Clinical, laboratory and magnetic resonance image findings were consistent with her diagnosis. She was treated with steroids and discharged with only mild lower limb weakness. |
