Multiple demyelinating sensory and motor mononeuropathy associated with COVID-19: a case report

The involvement of the nervous system may occur in 36.4% of patients with COVID-19. Cases have been described of cerebrovascular diseases, encephalitis, encephalopathies, and changes in smell and taste. Two months after being discharged from hospital with COVID-19, a 63-year-old male patient presented with a predominantly demyelinating multiple sensory and motor mononeuropathy. A diagnostic possibility of multiple sensory and motor demyelinating mononeuropathy (Lewis-Sumner syndrome) was made. Treatment with human immunoglobulin was initiated. COVID-19 may be associated with multiple demyelinating sensory and motor mononeuropathy.
