In this Letter to the Editor, we examine a case of catatonia in a 37-month-old child with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-positive acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). To our knowledge, this is one of the youngest cases of non-drug-related catatonia reported in the literature.1,2 We will discuss how this patient's symptoms of catatonia responded to pharmacologic interventions and the need to screen young children for catatonic symptoms, given the high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with the condition.3 The authors used CARE guidelines in writing this report (Supplement 1). The patient's family gave written consent for the publication of this article.

一例 37 个月大的 MOG 抗体阳性急性播散性脑脊髓炎患儿紧张症


在这封给编辑的信中，我们研究了一例 37 个月大的髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白 （MOG） 抗体阳性急性播散性脑脊髓炎 （ADEM） 儿童的紧张症病例。据我们所知，这是文献中报道的最年轻的非药物相关紧张症病例之一.1,2 鉴于与该病症相关的高发病率和死亡率，我们将讨论该患者的紧张症症状对药物干预的反应以及筛查幼儿紧张症状的必要性.3 作者在撰写本报告时使用 CARE 指南（增补 1）。患者家属书面同意本文的发表。
