Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is an uncommon but serious neurologic condition. It affects the nervous system, specifically the area of the spinal cord
There are no specific treatments for acute flaccid myelitis. Physical and occupational therapy to restore movement is seen as being very important. Some doctors might recommend treatments, like steroids, antivirals or immunoglobulin, which have been used to treat transverse myelitis and other neurological conditions.
The right doctor to consult for an Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is an Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon.
It is important that the tests (MRI and laboratory testing of the CSF, respiratory fluid, blood, and stool) are done as soon as possible after a patient develops symptoms.
