Abstract
|

|
|
Hirayama disease is characterized by initially progressive muscular weakness and wasting of the distal upper limbs in young people. It has a male predominance, and its progression spontaneously arrests within several years. Here, we report the case of a 15-year-old girl with findings of Hirayama disease on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after she visited the hospital with unilateral muscle weakness that occurred after coronavirus disease 2019 mRNA vaccination. She was asymptomatic for 3 weeks after vaccination; however, starting the night before hospitalization, her right limb began to lose strength. MRI demonstrated typical Hirayama disease findings.
