West Nile Virus: A Case Report with Flaccid Paralysis and Cervical Spinal Cord MR Imaging Findings AJNR 26:26-29, Kraushaar, G., et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract we present a case of serologically proved West Nile Virus(WNV) flaccid paralysis of the right upper extremity. Radiologic correlation revealed striking T2 hyperintensities in the anterior horns of the cervical spinal cord, similar to those seen in cases of poliomyelitis. Recognition of the MR imaging findings in cases of WNV flaccid paralysis can provide early evidence of infection.
