ABSTRACT
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) following coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of ATM after COVID-19 infection in a female who presented with sudden onset bilateral lower limb weakness, paresthesia, and urinary retention. She developed fever, cough, dyspnea two weeks ago, and her COVID-19 test was positive one week later. After a complete physical examination and detailed investigations, including cerebrospinal fluid analysis, autoimmune screening, and infectious workup, a diagnosis of ATM due to COVID-19 was made. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine confirmed the diagnosis of ATM. She was managed with intravenous methylprednisolone, physical therapy, and bladder training and her condition improved gradually.
