Abstract: Key Clinical Message Acute paraplegia after treatment with intrathecal methotrexate requires a complete spinal cord neuroimaging as well as electrodiagnostic examination. The absence of lumbosacral F waves motor responses without demyelinating findings may indicate early direct root toxicity. Early electromyography (EMG) screening could be a valuable tool for detecting peripheral neurotoxicity.
