Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), caused by the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), has become a life-threatening epidemic, affecting multiple organs, including the nervous system. Studies have documented that COVID-19-associated peripheral neuropathy is a common and frequent problem, with central and peripheral nervous system complications.
The most commonly associated peripheral neuropathies described with COVID-19 are Guillain-Barre syndrome and its variants as well as critical illness polyneuropathy. We report in this paper the distinct MRI findings of an unusual case of peripheral neuropathy associated with COVID-19. These findings are similar to those seen in Guillain-Barre syndrome or one of its variants, although differing from the classic condition in certain key clinical and radiological features 1).
