- Abstract
- Neurological complications attributed to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection have been reported including acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and so on. Herein, we report a 49-year-old woman presented with acute encephalopathy and paraplegia simultaneously after COVID-19 infection. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed symmetric hyperintense basal ganglia lesions on T2-weighted imaging. Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis, motor axonal neuropathy and enhancement of conus medullaris nerve roots on spine MRI were observed. We treated her with high-dose corticosteroid and intravenous immunoglobulin.
