ABSTRACT
Transverse myelitis is a nontraumatic spinal cord injury that presents with sudden onset weakness, sensory deficits, and autonomic dysfunction. It can be caused by multiple etiologies including malignancy, autoimmune disorders, viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, and environmental factors. In this article, we describe cases of two elderly male patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Patients did not exhibit classic or had only mild classic symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, both patients developed transverse myelitis. Patients were treated with intravenous steroids and therapeutic plasmapheresis, achieving partial improvement. The study aimed to understand rare complications like transverse myelitis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and treatment accordingly.
