ABSTRACT
Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is an infrequent subtype of acute transverse myelitis, which presents with sensory, motor and autonomic dysfunction after a focal or widespread inflammation of the spinal cord due to either direct infection or an autoimmune response. We present case reports of three females who developed LETM following COVID-19 vaccination. Their clinical presentation, deficits and rehabilitation outcome at discharge and at 8 months follow-up have been briefly described.
