Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare neurological condition that affects the spinal cord’s grey matter and can cause sudden muscle weakness, reduced reflexes and, in severe cases, paralysis. It often develops after a viral illness and primarily affects children, although adults can also be affected. Early recognition, neurological assessment, imaging and supportive medical care are important for managing symptoms, addressing complications and supporting recovery. Treatment focuses on individual needs, including respiratory support, rehabilitation and ongoing neurological monitoring.
