%X Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis is a rare neurological manifestation caused by dengue infection. Here, we describe the uncommon presentation of a 24-year-old male with fever and maculopapular rash followed by flaccid quadriparesis with acute urinary retention. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine with contrast revealed a long-segment ill-defined hyperintense signal noted in the cord. The patient was managed conservatively with intravenous steroids and later intravenous immunoglobulins. The patient is on regular follow-up and doing well. Currently, the patient is on tablet prednisolone with a tapering dose.
