Two cases of Syndromes of Ophthalmoplegia , Ataxia and Areflexia were reported. A brief discussion on its clinical feature and differential diagnosis was made.
Poliomyelitis in Malaysia has not been reported since 1986. We report two cases of poliomyelitis in non-immunized children whose parents, though relatively educated, opted not to vaccinate their children for socio-cultural reasons.
