摘要
Acute transverse myelitis is a rare condition that can follow a viral infection. At least 43 cases of COVID-19 associated with acute transverse myelitis have been presented in the literature. This case review highlights one such case in a young man. Although rare, acute transverse myelitis following COVID-19 can cause significant disability for patients. Clinicians must be equipped and encouraged to report and study cases of neurologic complications following COVID-19 infection to develop further treatment and cure.
