APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Acute flaccid myelitis is a rare condition that affects the nervous system. Inflammation of the gray matter in the spinal cord leads to muscle weakness and paralysis. Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is usually caused by infection with a virus. While AFM is rare, there has been a slight increase in cases of AFM since 2014.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is an uncommon but serious neurologic condition. It affects the nervous system, specifically the area of the spinal cord called gray matter, which causes the muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak.

Detailed explanation-3: -Poliomyelitis is a disease of the lower motor neurons that affects the gray matter of the spinal cord, specifically the yen-tral horns.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the virus spreads to the nervous system, it can cause major illness, such as: encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) meningitis (inflammation of membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord) paralysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus. The virus spreads from person to person and can infect a person’s spinal cord, causing paralysis (can’t move parts of the body).
