Abstract

Multiple recent publications have reported numerous neurologic complications of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Among these is Guillain-Barre syndrome and its variants, including facial diplegia. In this case we present a patient with facial diplegia following a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient initially presented with respiratory symptoms and subsequently developed bilateral facial weakness approximately 3 weeks later prompting an emergency department (ED) visit. Extensive laboratory and imaging workup was negative for other etiologies. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was notable only for mild elevation in white blood cells and protein. Patients with acute neurologic symptoms should be evaluated carefully regarding recent infections or possible exposures to help identify and minimize late complications of this novel virus.

面瘫是SARS-CoV-2感染罕见的晚期神经系统表现。
最近的多份出版物报道了严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)感染的许多神经系统并发症。其中包括格林-巴利综合征及其变种,包括面部双瘫。在本病例中,我们报告了一位确诊为SARS-CoV-2感染后面部双瘫的患者。患者最初表现为呼吸系统症状,随后约3周后出现双侧面部无力,促使急诊就诊。广泛的实验室和影像学检查均未发现其他病因。脑脊液(CSF)分析仅显示白细胞和蛋白轻度升高。有急性神经系统症状的患者应仔细评估近期感染或可能接触的情况,以帮助识别和减少这种新型病毒的晚期并发症。
