ABSTRACT
There are increasing reports of immune-mediated and para-infectious syndromes beyond the well-known respiratory manifestations of severe-acute-respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the spectrum of severe neurological sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 remains undefined. We present the case of a 66-year-old female with rapidly progressive lower limb neurology 3 days post SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical and radiological findings were in keeping with transverse myelitis and treatment success was achieved with methylprednisolone and remdesivir. This report will discuss the associations between SARS-CoV-2 and acute transverse myelitis. We believe this is one of few described cases of early SARS-CoV-2-associated transverse myelitis secondary to neurotropism and the first successfully treated with the inclusion of remdesivir in the therapeutic regimen.
