Abstract

We present a case of acute partial transverse myelitis (TM) that developed 6 d following covaccination with a bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine and quadrivalent influenza vaccine. Although initial imaging of the thoracic spine was nonspecific, repeat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a T2 hyperintense lesion with contrast enhancement, consistent with TM. The risk of rare but catastrophic neurologic complications following the bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine and/or covaccination with COVID-19 and influenza vaccines is the subject of ongoing investigation in the medical community.

二价新冠肺炎加强疫苗和四价季节性流感疫苗后的横贯性脊髓炎
一名78岁女性,既往有骨质疏松、二尖瓣反流和高脂血症病史,于2022年9月出现左下肢无力和麻木。在就诊前24小时,患者处于神经系统基线,正在活动,突然出现头晕和左大腿感觉异常,随后出现全身左腿无力。她去了急诊室,无法独立行走。她注意到左上腹部有疼痛的带状感觉,但否认鞍状麻醉或大便失禁。在左下肢体检中,髋关节和膝关节屈曲和伸展的力量为4/5,多个皮节对轻度触摸的感觉普遍下降,巴宾斯基征呈阳性。对右下肢的检查并不显著。实验室检查包括严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型聚合酶链式反应、C反应蛋白、肌酸激酶、促甲状腺激素、维生素B12、血管紧张素转换酶、抗核抗体、抗HMG-CoA还原酶抗体、抗SSA和SSB抗体以及抗双链DNA抗体均在正常范围内或阴性。没有造影剂的脑磁共振成像(MRI)并不显著。经对比的初步胸部MRI显示,在T5-6时出现T2高信号的非特异性、非增强性病变(见图1A、B)。医院第4天的重复胸部成像再次是非特异性的,鉴别诊断仍然很广泛。起初,患者的力量和功能每天都有适度的改善,但从医院第7天到第9天,她的功能改善停滞不前,出现了尿潴留和便秘。在住院期间,尿潴留逐渐改善,在住院第7天至第13天,记录的排尿后残余量(PVR)逐渐降低。第8天在医院进行腰椎穿刺。脑脊液研究在正常范围内或阴性,包括细胞计数(收集的第四管中为零核细胞)、革兰氏染色和培养、多病原体脑膜炎组(包括水痘-带状疱疹病毒和单纯疱疹病毒1和2)以及寡克隆带。在医院第9天,将血清样本送往外部实验室,用荧光激活细胞分选(FACS)测定法检测抗MOG和抗NMO/AQP4抗体。两次检测结果均为阴性。由于症状的进展和缺乏替代诊断,在医院第10天重复进行了胸部MRI对比检查。这显示出更明显的T2高信号,现在从T3延伸到T7,同时在T5–T6出现病理对比增强,与横贯性脊髓炎一致(TM;见图1D–F)。值得注意的是,对第三医院影像学的回顾性审查显示,轴向影像学有微弱、不明确的增强(见图1C)。她否认最近发生过任何传染事件、生病的接触者或咳嗽或流涕等常见传染症状。她没有已知的自身免疫性疾病家族史。然而,她在症状出现前6天接种了二价Pfizer-BioNTech新冠肺炎加强疫苗和Fluzone四价流感疫苗。患者被诊断为横贯性脊髓炎,并完成了5天的高剂量静脉注射甲基强的松龙,之后出院完成门诊物理治疗。出院后2个月,她被接收:2022年11月22日修订:2022年12月21日接受:2023年1月5日
