Transverse myelitis (TM) is a clinical syndrome in which an inflammatory process injures the spinal cord potentially resulting in weakness, sensory abnormalities and autonomic dysfunction. The main causes are post-infectious, post-vaccination, autoimmune and demyelinating diseases. In a literature review based on five cases of TM during pregnancy and puerperal period have been reported. We report a female patient in the immediate postpartum period who presented acute transverse myelites after receiving double viral vaccine (measles and rubella). After exclusion of other causes, patient received methylprednisolone in high doses ( 1000 mg for 3 consecutives days) and had complete clinical reversal. Thus it is intended to report this rare occurrence which is post-vaccination TM in the postpartum period.
