Hopkins Syndrome, also known as Hopkin-McCarthy Syndrome or post-asthmatic paralysis, is a rare condition characterized by the onset of acute flaccid paralysis in a child following an asthma exacerbation. Although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, this syndrome is believed to be a form of myelopathy associated with asthma. We report a case of Hopkins syndrome occurring after an episode of asthma exacerbation in a 2-year and 8-month-old boy.
