ABSTRACT
Introduction Since the declaration of COVID-19 pandemic, several cases of demyelination of both peripheral and central nervous systems have been reported. The association of viral infection and the development of CNS demyelination has long been studied, and this link has recently been reported following SARS-CoV-2 infection as well. Case report We report a case of a 36-year-old male who developed CNS demyelinating disease, that fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of multiple sclerosis (MS), 2 months after laboratory-confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the second published case report of MS in association with COVID-19 infection, and the first case from Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, adding to the growing literature of a probable causal relationship between SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and the development of MS.
