    Hyperacute disseminated encephalomyelitis following lyssa vaccination is a rare complication. This condition, characterized by spinal cord demyelination, can be fatal shortly after symptom onset.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Vaccinology

    Background:

    • Lyssa vaccination is a critical tool for preventing rabies.
    • Post-vaccinal encephalomyelitis is a known, albeit rare, adverse event associated with certain vaccines.

    Observation:

    • A case of hyperacute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) occurred ten days post-lyssa vaccination.
    • Clinical presentation rapidly progressed over three days, leading to patient demise.
    • Histological examination revealed demyelination and glia proliferation in the spinal cord.

    Findings:

    • ADEM following lyssa vaccination presents with rapid neurological decline.
    • Histopathology confirms central nervous system demyelination, specifically in the spinal cord.
    • Optic nerve involvement with infiltration, demyelination, and gliosis can also occur.

    Implications:

    • ADEM is a rare but unavoidable complication of lyssa vaccination.
    • Distinguishing between spinal and cerebral forms of post-vaccinal encephalomyelitis can be challenging.
    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring for neurological adverse events post-vaccination.
