Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) refers to a frequently idiopathic, segmentalspinal cord inflammation. It is a rare condition, in particular in children, and not previouslyreported in a family retinitis pigmentosa (RP) clinical setting.Case Report: An 11-year-old previously healthy girl, with a family history of RP, presentedwith a subacute flaccid paraparesis, with bilateral, up to the fourth dorsal level, mixed sensoryhypoesthesia and autonomic dysfunction. Brain and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed an extensive, T2-hyperintense, non-contrast enhancing lesion from the second tofifth dorsal levels. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and lab studies were normal, as the ophthalmologicobservation. Treated with high-dose corticosteroids and intensive physical therapy, a significantrecovery could be seen.Conclusion: Early pharmacological and physical treatment is fundamental and may indeedchange the prognosis of this disease ATM. The family history of RP, although probably incidental,brings nevertheless the issue of a possible etiological contribution, or pathologic commonpathways
