The authors present a case report of a 7-year-old boy with acute back pain with totally atypical clinical presentations. Acute pains were

only in the night, non-steroidal analgesics were without effect. During the day the patient had no pain and was not limited his movement.

Step-by-step were excluded injury, noninfectious systemic inflammation and metabolic causes. Graphical views confirmed the rapid

progression of the expansive process caudal spinal cord. Infectious etiology was demonstrated subsequently, with a certain latency.

Effective antimicrobial treatment resulted in total recovery.

Keywords: acute back pain, childhood, neuroinfections
